Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
So many
G 
beautiful stories are told
A 
Of love and affection
D 
that's purer than gold
They meet and they love
G 
and he makes her his wife
A 
And why it can't last
D 
is a mystery of life
I love you, my darling,
G 
I've always been true
A 
D 
Wherever you go, I'll be thinking of you
You say you don't want me,
G 
wish to be free
A 
If that's what you want,
D 
A 
D 
that's the way it will be
I love you too much and not wisely,
G 
A 
I know I thought it was right,
D 
Paul, you said it was so
And now for my wrongs dearly
G 
I pay the cost
A 
The price is so high
D 
if your love I have loved
When Daddy told Mother,
G 
till death do us part,
A 
D 
He said it and meant it right from the heart.
But now it is different,
G 
how people have changed
A 
The words of the Bible,
D 
A 
D 
they don't mean a thing
G 
God made the ocean, the forest, and trees
A 
He made the flowers,
D 
the birds, and the bees
And why he permits all these
G 
troubles and strife,
A 
D 
That is just one of the mysteries of life.
