I Wonder Why Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I [Em]wonder why you went away
You took the [Am]spring with you
when you said you had plagued your bed
And will [Em]not stay any more,
[Bm]a co[Em]mmon life[Am]
One that would save two [D]souls [Em]from strife
Your eyes gave [Am]away the old shelter
that [D]the [Em]night was in [Am]sprite
[G]Your [D]heart's [Em]higher cry
And when I [C]take the time to mourn, and I do,
I see women with their faces
wrapped in shade
It's [Em]like you, like you
So I wonder why you went away
And hauled [C]off the features
of the land that
To [G]unveil[C]
To [Em]my own eyes
These sorry eyes
All night when [C]the tide rolls in
And I think of [G]you
An[C]d my heart falls l[G]ike the p[Am]rey
[D]I c[C]ann[Em]ot see, I cannot believe
All these [Am]fading flames won't
let go of [D]me[Em][Am]
And your eye[G]s are a[D]ll s[Em]miles on
And when I [C]take the time to mourn,
and you know that I do
I see women with their faces
red in shades [G]like you
Just [C]like the [Am]way [F]you do
Your hands still on [C]the pillows in the rain
The covers in the sheets
They memorized you well
Though God knows they
look just [G]like you
Just [C]like [F]you [Am]do[G][F]
You
