Recorded by Marty Robbins
D F#m
The day that we wed, you blessed us and said
D G
May Heaven bestow you grace.”
D A D
Here in this holy place, we shared our first embrace.
D F#m
Our cottage was small but richer than all
D G
the palaces of a king.
D A D
Each night the birds would sing. Our hearts were full of spring.
Chorus:
D7 G
Pa – dre, pa – dre
D A D A
What happened to the love we knew?
D D7 G
Pa – dre, pa – dre
D A D
In my grief I turn to you
Then he came along and sang her a song
And won her with sugared lies
He of the fiery eyes. Now it’s my heart that cries.
So I kneel and pray the hours away
And weary my heart has grown; wondering where love has flown
Counting my beads alone.
Repeat chorus.
