INTRO 6 bars of FINGERPICK A with mandolin solo coming in 2 1/2 bars
[A] [A] [A] [A] [A] [A]
[A]Lo-ng long a[Am]g-o, in a [G]house [G/F#]up the [Em]road,
Lived a [Am]maide-n, so [Bm]beau-ti[Em]fu-l.[Em]
[A]Da-y after [Am]da-y, she [G]looked the [G/F#]same old [Em]way
As the [Am]su-n shone [Bm]o-ff her hair of [Em]gold.[Em]
[A]Someda-y I would [Am]go there, and [G]ask [G/F#]for her [Em]hand,
Just as [Am]soo-n as [Bm]I, become a [Em]ma-a-an.
(Mandolin/guitar classical interlude)
[A]I-n the after[Am]no-on, she'd s[G]it [G/F#]in the [Em]shade,
And w[Am]ave as I w[Bm]atched, from down the [Em]road.[Em]
[A]Ti-me after [Am]time, I [G]wished my [G/F#]head to [Em]lay
In her [Am]arms and at [Bm]last, she would [Em]know.[Em]
[A]The-n one [Am]da-y, a [G]stranger [G/F#]came to [Em]call,
And t[Am]ook her far a[Bm]way, from down the [Em]road.[Em]
[A]I watched, 'til the [Am]dusk, from the f[G]ields[G/F#] down b[Em]elow,
But in [Am]vain, for the [Bm]night, began to [Em]fall.[Em]
[A]The-n came the [Am]message, that [G]summoned[G/F#] me to [Em]town,
And my [Am]knee-s gave [Bm]wa-y, to the g[Em]rou-ou-ound.
(2nd mandolin/guitar interlude)
They [A]sa-y that this m[Am]essage, c[G]ame with her [G/F#]dying [Em]breath,
The v[Am]ery last wo[Bm]rds she ever[Em] spoke:[Em]
"[A]Gi-ve my [Am]lo-ve, to the [G]boy [G/F#]down the [Em]road,
And [Am]tell him not to [Bm]cry-y-y,,,, [NC]fo-r I-I-I, [Em]kno-[D]-o-o-[Em]o- [D]w."[Em]
