Testo

[Intro]
| + Am | E7 Am | -

[Verse 1]
C Am           Am    E7            Am
    She went upstairs  to make her bed
            C                  Am
And not one word to her mother said.
              Am E7              Am
Her mother she     went upstairs too
                      C
Saying, "Daughter, oh daughter,
                 Am
what's troublin' you?":

[Verse 2]
                 Am E7         Am
"Oh mother, dear,     I cannot tell
              C                  Am
That railroad boy that I love so well.
           Am E7         Am
He courted me   my life away
           C                   Am
And now at home will no longer stay."

[Verse 3]
                 Am E7          Am
"There is a place     in London town
              C                 Am
That railroad boy goes and sits down.
              Am     E7            Am
He takes that strange  girl on his knee
                C                      Am
And he tells to her what he won't tell me.
"

[Interlude]
Am E7 Am C Am           Am
             Her father he
E7               Am
  came home from work

[Verse 4]
                     C
Sayin', "Where is my daughter,
             Am
she seems so hurt"
          Am    E7            Am
He went upstairs  to give her hope
                 C            Am
An' he found her hangin' by a rope.

[Verse 5]
                 Am
He took his knife
E7               Am
  and he cut her down
           C                    Am
And on her bosom these words he found:
           Am   E7              Am
"Go dig my grave  both wide and deep,
             C                    Am
Put a marble stone at my head and feet,

[Verse 6]
          Am     E7                 Am
And on my breast,  put a snow white dove
            C                    Am   C Am
To tell the world that I died of love.
