Alone And Forsaken Chords & Lyrics - Townes Van Zandt

[Bbm]We met in the springtime when blossoms unfold
The pastures were [Ab]green and the meadows were [Bbm]gold

Our love was in flower as summer grew on
Her love like some [Ab]news has withered and [Bbm]gone

[Bbm]The roses have faded there's frost at my door
The birds in the [Ab]morning don't sing a[Bbm]nymore

The grass in the valley is starting to die
And out in the d[Ab]arkness the whippoorwills [Bbm]cry.


[F#]Alone and forsaken by [Db]fate and by m[Bbm]an
Oh Lord if you hear me p[Ab]lease hold my [Bbm]hand
P[Ab]lease und[Bbm]erstand

[Bbm]Oh where has she gone to oh where can she be?
She may have f[Ab]orsaken some other like [Bbm]me

She promised to honour to love and obey
Each vow was a p[Ab]lay thing that she threw [Bbm]away

[Bbm]The darkness is falling the sky has turned grey
A hound in the d[Ab]istance is starting to [Bbm]bay

I wonder I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken f[Ab]orgotten without any l[Bbm]ove


[F#]Alone and forsaken by [Db]fate and by m[Bbm]an
Oh Lord if you hear me p[Ab]lease hold my [Bbm]hand
P[Ab]lease un[Bbm]derstand
O[Ab]h please un[Bbm]derstand
