Tom: C
G
[Verse]
Am C/B C
She came from her palace grand
C G
She came to my cottage door
Am C/B C
Her words were few but her looks
C G C G C G
Will linger for evermore
Am C/B C
The look in her sad dark eyes
C G
More tender than words could be.
[Chorus]
Dm C Am C/B C
Oh but I was nothing to her
C G C G C G
And she was the world to me.
G
[Verse]
Am C/B C
And now in her garden she stands
C G
All dressed in fine satin and lace
Am C/B C
My lady so cold and so strange
C G C G C G
Who finds in her heart no place.
Am C/B C
And I knew she would be my bride
C G
With a kiss for a lifetime fee.
[Chorus]
Dm C Am C/B C
Oh but I was nothing to her
C G C G C G
And she was the world to me.
G
[Verse]
Am C/B C
Now in her palace grand
C G
On a flower covered bed she lies
Am C/B C
Her beautiful lids are closed
C G C G C G
Over her sad dark eyes.
Am C/B C
And among the mourners who mourn
C G
Why should I a mourner be.
[Chorus]
Dm C Am C/B C
When I was nothing to her
C G C G C G
And she was the world to me.
G
[Verse]
Am C/B C
And how will it be with our souls
C G
When we meet in that spirit land
Am C/B C
What the human heart never knows
C G C G C G
Will a spirit understand
Am C/B C
Or in some celestial form
C G
Will our sorrows repeated be
[Chorus]
Dm C Am C/B C
Will I still be nothing to her
C G C G C G
And she was the world to me..
