Tom: A A E A The dream of love is over, today we said goodbye, D A E E7 we parted not in anger though tears came in her eyes. A D A 'Twas just as fate decreed, dear, that we should never wed, D A E A yet in her heart she loved me, she married wealth instead. A E One little word could've changed my future life, E7 A one little word could've made her my wife. D A Too late, too late, now my fondest hopes are dead, E E7 A one little word, that word was never said. A Since schooldays we had been sweethearts, E A she was her father's pride, D A E E7 her folks lived in a mansion, our cottage by its side. A D A Though years have brought their changes, the same old love tale told, D A E A she wed to please her parents a man of wealth and gold. A E One little word could've changed my future life, E7 A one little word could've made her my wife. D A Too late, too late, now my fondest hopes are dead, E E7 A one little word, that word was never said.
