   G ~ ~

 

            G                                         D                 G

1. If it wasn't for your golden hair would not be lonely,

            G                                         D                  G

    if it wasn't for your golden hair would not be alone.

             G                                            D                G

    If it wasn't for your piercing stare would not be lonely,

            G                                             D                   G

    if it wasn't for your piercing stare would not be alone.

         D                             G                     D                           G

    I would not waltz in a widow's line, dressed in black by Gods design,

         D                              G

    what was yours would not be mine.

            G                                            D                  G

    If it wasn't for your golden hair I would not be alone.

              G                                            D                           G

    You courted me with princely airs, said you'd love me only,

      G                                                       D                 G

     kissed the ribbons in my hair, said, darling, fly away.

       G                                          D                      G

2. Flower of the Calvary, you swept me off my saddle,

     G                                      D                       G

    lifted me into your life, a soldier's wife was I.

                D                     G                     D                       G

    You proudly marched to the horn, I prayed for your swift return,

          D                      G                D               G

    I stood my ground so forlorn, here to be alone.

 

+    instrumental = verse 2

 

       G                                               D                 G

3. I longed for you, I longed to die, I´ve been so lonely,

           G                                           D               G

    the pillows bare by my side and yet I shall abide.

              D                  G                     D                G

    For heaven has aset for me, companion for eternity,

           D                     G                         D                         G   ~ ~

    so kiss the ribbons in my hair, say, darling, come and fly.

             G                                         D                G

    If it wasn't for your golden hair would not be lonely,

            G                                         D                  G

    if it wasn't for your golden hair would not be alone.
