[Intro 1]
[Am][E][Am][G][D][E][Am][Dm][Am]
[E][Am]

[Verse 1]
He [Am]lived [E]alone in [Am]town
His [G]friends were [D]many and [E]true
He [Am]drank and took the [D]easy [Dm]love
Of [Am]street girls [E]that he [Am]knew

[Verse 2]
And he [Am]met a[E] girl one [Am]day
Said, "Come [G]home [D]with me to[E]night"
"Oh [Am]no!" she cried, "I [D]never [Dm]will"
And she [Am]left him [E]there [Am]alone

[Verse 3]
And the [Am]days went [E]by, and [Dm]days
[Am]Went by an[G]d they[D] did long[E]
[Am]For each other e[D]very h[Dm]our
But [Am]still she'd [E]not be [Dm]bound
[Am]In the

[Verse 4]
places [E]of young [Dm]men[Am]
I [F]never [D]will [G]be found[E]
But [Am]think you not [D]that I don't [Dm]love
For my [Am]heart is [E]ripe and [Am]full

[Verse 5]
[Am]"How cold you [Em]are!" [E]he [Am]said
I [G]guess you [D]must not [E]care for [Am]me
But tell me, [D]where it is you'd [Dm]go?
For I'd [Am]take you [E]anywhere[Dm]
Then [Am]come

[Verse 6]
to a [E]forest [Dm]green[Am]
Where [G]I may l[D]ove you f[E]ree
Bey[Am]ond the confines [D]of
[Dm]your walls
[Am]And beyond the [E]sweetest [Dm]words
An[Am]d beyond

[Verse 7]
the [E]mountains [Dm]high[Am]
Bey[G]ond the [D]fields of [E]shame
And [Am]bey ond the prettiest
wed[D]ding [Dm]ring
For I'd [Am]never [E]take your [Dm]name

[Verse 8]
And [Am]wander [E]with me now
[Dm]Or w[Am]ander[F] all fo[D]rlor[G]n[E]
But [Am]know I love you, [D]tearful [Dm]one
Much [Am]more than [E]I can s[Am]how

[Verse 9]
[Am]He could not [E]under[Dm]stand[Am]
He [G]thought she [D]could not [E]care
"Oh, take [Am]me far a[D]way," she'd cr[Dm]ied
And he could [Am]not h[E]ear her [Am]prayer

[Verse 10]
And [Am]he wandered [E]off [Dm]alone[Am]
To [G]never [D]know [E]her dream
And [Am]she still dwells w[D]ithin [Dm]the forest
[Am]Longing [E]for his [Am]love

[Verse 11]
So, [Am]wander [E]with me [Dm]now[Am]
Or [F]wander [D]off [G]alone[E]
[Am]But know I love you, [D]tearful [Dm]one
Much [Am]more than [E]I can s[Am]how
[D][Dm][Am][E][Em][E][Am]
