[Verse 1]
Am (E) G F C
They were married in the old Church yard
C Am D/F#
And they promised to be true to each other
Am Am/G Am/F E
No matter how hard their lives might be
Asus4 A Am A
But like meteors that fell through moments parallel
Am Am/G
They were soon to cross
Am/F E
And on different plots of earth they both did fall
F G/E Am
Though their lives had really not been hard at all
[Chorus]
Am F
Oh my what a shame
Am C
No one's to blame
G
It just happened that way
Am Am/G
And there's nothing you can say
Am/F# E
When two people say goodbye
Oh my...
[Instrumental]
Am G F C
Am Am/G Am/F# F E Am
[Verse 2]
Am G F C
Two brothers, promised they'd return
Am D/F#
When the war that they were fighting was over
Am Am/G Am/F E
But only one lived to keep his vow
Asus4 A Am A
And the story I was told said he lived to be quite old
Am Am/G
Before time won out
Am/F E
Someone asked if he knew what they both fought for
F G/E Am
But he could not recall he had ever been to war
[Chorus]
Am F
Oh my what a shame
Am C
No one's to blame
G
It just happened that way
Am Am/G
And there's nothing you can say
Am/F# E
When two people say goodbye
Oh my...
