Tom: E E A E I've travelled together with cold hearted people B Far from my home by the beautiful sea E A E I've travelled along through all sorrows and dangers B E But how could I ever be single again? [Chorus] E A E B So talk to me softly before you must leave me E A E B Talk to me gently but say what you will E A E I think of you often, glad memories recalling B E But how could I ever be single again? [Verse 2] E A E I've lived all alone beneath cold wintеrs shadow E B I've sat near the brook whеre we used to lay E A E I'll never get over how suddenly you left me B E But how could I ever be single again? [Chorus] E A E B So talk to me tenderly as you are leaving E A E B Talk to me gently but say what you must E A E I think of you often glad memories recalling B E But how could ever be single again? [Chorus] E A E B So talk to me softly before you must leave me E A E B Talk to me gently but say what you will E A E I think of you often, glad memories recalling B E But how could I ever be single again?
