2nd Dm F C DM AWAY
d a e f e d a b c b g f c e f d a c Dm
I've been alone many a year,
she left me here without her light,
all I have are these bitter tears,
memories ghosts of what was right.
I continue on day to day,
finding a way to feel her light,
in darkness of her tomb she lay,
and I in my own endless night.
Dm am Dm am Dm F C Dm
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my true love lay.
Lost in thoughts of happier days,
a budding May basked in sunlight,
two of us in a field we lay,
embraced in love's eternal delight.
Dm am Dm am Dm F C Dm
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my true love lay.
Winter came early that year,
leaving me here in this cold night,
I wish I could give back these tears,
and have her in my arms tonight.
Dm am Dm am Dm F C Dm
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my love must stay
Dm am Dm am Dm F C Dm
Away, Away, Away, Away, away is where my love must stay

All alone walking down the avenue,

Will someone show me to their door,

how many times have I been turned away before?...
