[Verse 1]
G          C7M           D/F#          G C7M
 Oh, I was born with the name Geraldine
G C7M     G        C7M             G   C7M
     With hair coal   black as a raven.
G
C7M  G                C7M    D/F#       G C7M
   I travelled my life   without a care,
G C7M        G      D/F#         G    C7M
     Ah, but all my love I was savin'.

[Verse 2]
G
 Oh,
    G              C7M        D/F#           G C7M
the winds blew high   and the trees did sway,
G C7M    G         C7M          G    C7M
     Not much from life was I askin'.
G
C7M     G            C7M   D/F#             G C7M
   Till I met someone   to give all my love,
G C7M       G        D/F#        G    C7M
     All my love, so long an' lasting.

[Verse 3]
G
 Oh,
G                  C7M   D/F#              G C7M
good were the parts   we played in our game
G C7M          G     C7M          G   C7M
     And a long ways off was tomorrow.
G
C7M           G          C7M     D/F#                G C7M
   But my love was a rambler and restless as the sea,
G C7M    G      D/F#         G   C7M
     And in the tide came sorrow.

[Verse 4]
G
 Oh,
  G                 C7M   D/F#             G C7M
a child of the night   is goin' to be born,
G C7M  G       C7M           G    C7M
     I can't explain my confusion.
G
C7M   G           C7M     D/F#           G C7M
   Is my love thinkin' to marry me at all
G
C7M              G      D/F#              G    C7M
   Or of the freedom he thinks he'll be losin'?

[Verse 5]
G  G                          D/F#             G C7M
 I sit with my friends in the gay crowded room,
G
C7M   G               C7M             G    C7M
   My friends they're smokin' and atalkin'.
G
C7M       G               C7M    D/F#        G     C7M
   But it all seems so empty, my love is not there,
G
C7M        G           D/F#        G    C7M
   So I'll go into the streets awalkin'.

[Verse 6]
G   G        C7M         D/F#            G C7M
 My baby is agrowin' as agrowin' it must,
G C7M   G             C7M
     If I were to lose   it,
               G   C7M
it would grieve me.
G
C7M   G                  C7M        D/F#                 G C7M
   My love is so helpless   and I'm wonderin' what to do.
G C7M G         D/F#         G    C7M
      Oh, how I yearn to help him.

[Verse 7]
G
 Oh,
G           C7M       D/F#               G C7M
 we could go   to the land of your choice
G
C7M          G                      C7M               G  C7M
   Where the false shame won't come knockin' at our door.
G
C7M       G                  C7M         D/F#
   I've a feeling in my heart   and it's crushing all my
      G C7M
hopes,
G
C7M  G                 D/F#            G  C7M G
   I think I'm gonna be    hurt some more,

   I travelled my life   without a care,
G C7M           G   D/F#         G    C7M G C7M G
     Ah, but all my love I was savin'.
