Verse 1
(D major) I (C major) know (F major) (D major) (C major) (D major)
this dress
I'm wearing
doesn't (C major) hide the secret I've (G major)
tried (D major) concealing (C major)
(G major) When (D major) he left he promised me
that (C major) he'd be back
by the (G major) time it was (D major) revealing
The sun (C major) behind the clouds
just cast a crawling shadow
over the fields (D major) of clover (C major)
And (D major) time is running out for me
I (C major) wish that he would (G major) hurry
down from (D major) Dover
I've been gone so long
when I left (C major) the snow as
(G major) deep upon the (D major) ground
She has seen the spring and
summer com (C major) ing,
now the (G major) leaves are turning brown. (D major)
At (C major) any time a tiny face will show itself,
the waiting's almost (D major) over.
But she won't have a name to give it,
(C major) if I don't hurry (G major) down from (D major) Dover.
My folks weren't understanding
when they (C major) found out
they (G major) sent me from (D major) the home place. (C major)
My daddy (D major) said if folks found out
he'd (C major) be ashamed (G major) to ever show (D major) his face.
My mom (C major) ma said I was a fool,
she did not believe it when I told (D major) her
(C major) That (D major) everything would be alright,
but (C major) soon you would be (G major) com
ing down (D major) from Dover (E flat major)
She loved me more than anything,
she (D flat major) could not refuse (A flat major) me
when I (E flat major) needed her.
She was the only one I loved
and (D flat major) she did not believe (A flat major) that I was (E flat major) using her.
He could (D flat major) n't leave me here like this,
oh no, it can't be so, it can't (E flat major) be over
I wouldn't make her go through this alone,
(D flat major) though I'll be (A flat major) coming down from (E flat major) Dover
My body aches, the time is here,
it's (D flat major) lonely in this (A flat major) place where I'm (E flat major) lying
Our baby has been born,
but something's (D flat major) wrong,
it's much too (A flat major) still, I hear (E flat major) no cryin'
I guess (D flat major) in some strange way she knew she'd
never have a father's arms to (E flat major) hold her
(D flat major) And (E flat major) dying was a way of telling me
(D flat major) he wasn't coming (A flat major) down
from Dover (E flat major)
Thank you.
