I'd apologise for the puns, but I wouldn't mean it.
Intro: Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
There was a time when life was good to me.
Dm E
I was young and full of joy,
Dm Em Am Asus4 Am Asus2
And the days were summer-scented, rich as wine.
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
Noble of birth and dealing honorably,
Dm E
It seemed God was on my side,
Dm Em Am Asus4 Am Asus2
As if anything I wanted, it was mine.
A AM7
My love was at my side,
A6 A B
And Love brought dreams of sunshine to my joyous heart.
E E7
My lady and my love,
A A6
We vowed we'd never part.
A AM7
And though she had no name,
A6 A B
No family or honour she could bring to me
E E7
I offered her my own,
Am Asus4 Am Asus2
That married we should be.
Ah! foolish love, how blind your guiding hand,
For my lady-love, my wife,
Proved false to me, a bitter treachery.
Fallen, I was she bore a traitor's brand;
The demands of honour plain,
I left her body hanging on a tree.
Instrumental
Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
There was a time when life seemed good to me;
Dm E
Now the brightest summer wine
Dm Em Am Asus4 Am Asus2 Am
Can never melt the winter in my heart.
