D                                F#m
The day that we wed, you blessed us and said

D                                      G
May Heaven bestow you grace.”

                            D        A                            D
Here in this holy place, we shared our first embrace.

D                                        F#m
Our cottage was small but richer than all

D                      G
the palaces of a king.

                                             D             A                            D
Each night the birds would sing. Our hearts were full of spring.


Chorus: 
                      D7 G
Pa – dre, pa – dre

                      D                       A              D  A
        What happened to the love we knew?

            D        D7 G
        Pa – dre, pa – dre

                       D        A           D
        In my grief I turn to you

Then he came along and sang her a song
And won her with  sugared lies
He of the fiery eyes. Now it’s my heart that cries.
So I kneel and pray the hours away
And weary my heart has grown; wondering where love has flown
Counting my beads alone.

Repeat chorus.
