The tab is actually a simplified version of the fiddle intro. I included
the chord names in case you want to fill in the inner beats with chord
strums (like I do). I'm afraid you'll have to play with it to get the
feel right for this. The intro is in D and changes key to E at the end.

As I look at the letters that you wrote to me

It's you that I am thinking of

I remember our faded love
CHORUS: E E A A (I like barre chords
I miss you, darling, more and more every day for the chorus -Greg)

As heaven would miss the stars above

With every heartbeat, I still think of you

And remember our faded love

As I think of the past and all the pleasures we had
As I watched the mating of the doves
It was in the springtime that you said goodbye
I remember our faded love
