Verse 1
Now once (A minor) I was a (G minor) school (G major) girl,
(A minor) all with my (G minor) pencil (F major) an d slate
Can't you see what (G minor) I've come (A minor) to
from staying out late?
(F major) And it's (A minor) once I had a (G major) colour
that is as red as (F major) any rose
But (C sharp major) now (F major) I'm (G minor) as pale (G major) as
the lily (A minor) that grows
And (F major) it's green grows (A minor) (G major) the laurel (G minor)
(G major) And (G minor) so cold (G major) now (A minor) blows (F major) the dew
And (A minor) how sorry (G minor) was (G major) I
when I par (F major) ted from (A minor) you
Just (G major) like the (F major) rose (A minor) in the garden
(G major) When (A minor) her bloom (G major) is (F major) all gone
Can't (A minor) you see what (G major) I've come to
For (A minor) lov (G major) ing (A minor) that man?
(B flat major) Now (G major) (A minor) my par (F major) ents dis (A minor) liked (G major) me,
they've turned me away from (F major) their door.
So (A minor) I told them (G major) that I'd
ramble like (A minor) I used to before,
and (F major) I picked up (A minor) my baby, (G major)
(F major) and I've walked out the door.
And I (A minor) told (F major) him that (G major) I'd ramble
like (A minor) I used (F major) to be (A minor) fore
And (F major) it's green grows (A minor) the laurel
(G major) and so cold now (F major) glows the dew
And how (A minor) sorry (F major) was I
(G minor) when (G major) I par (F major) ted from (A minor) you
Just (F major) like the rose (A minor) in the (G major) garden
when (G minor) her bloom (F major) is all gone
Can't you (G minor) see what I've come to
for loving that (A minor) man? (B flat major)
(F major) So it's me (A minor) an d my baby
(G major) and contented (A minor) we will (F major) be
And I'll try (A minor) to for (G major) get him
(A minor) like he forgot me
And while there's love on the (G major) ocean
And there's love on (F major) dry land
While there's breath into my body
I (G major) will still (A minor) love that man
And (F major) it's green grows (G major) the laurel,
And (A minor) sickle now blows the (F major) dew.
And how (A minor) sorry was I
when (G major) I parted (F major) from (A minor) you,
Just like the rose in (G major) the garden,
When (F major) her bloom is all gone,
Can't you see what I've come to
For loving (A minor) that man?
