[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Do not forsake me, O my darling,
On this our wedding day.
Will [E]not forsake me, oh my [D]darlin'
Wait, wait [A]long[E][D]
I do not know what fate awaits me
I only know I must be [G5]brave
[E]For I must face the man [D]who hates me
[G]Or [G5]I a cowar[D]d, a cra[G]vi[G5]ng co[G]ward[D]
[G5]Or I[G] a cow[D]ard in my gr[A]ave[D]
[G]Can it be to [G5]ful f[G]ill my duty so soon
[D]Would I lose my dear duty
[G]Look at that big [G5]head [G]move along
[D]Nearing high [E]noon
[G5]He m[G]ade of our v[G5]iolence a [G]threat
[D]Would it be my life or his?
Oh, [G]I'm [G5]not afraid of death at all
[G]What [D]shall I do,[E] what shall I do
When you [A]leave me?
[D]Do not forsake me, oh my darling
You make a promise as a [G]bride[G5][G]
[G5]Do n[E]ot forsake me, oh my d[D]arling
Al[G]though [G5]you'r[D]e grieving
[G]Don't think [D]of leaving,
[G]now that [D]I need you
by my [A]side[D]
Wait[G]in', waitin' [D]long, not too long
Wait[G]in', waitin' long,
[D]I'm wai[G]tin'
I'm [D]waitin', but not too [G]long [D]you
