Died For Love
Ab Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
John Dunblane, Annie Painter
Eb Bb Ab Bb
They were true lovers to the end
Bb Ab Bb Ab Bb
They grew up together
Eb Bb
In the streets where no one is your friend
Eb Bb
They mixed their hearts' blood together
Eb Ab Bb
They swore they'd always be true
Eb Bb
When Annie left for the summer
Eb Ab Bb Ab
She said "For now, but never adieu-u-u"
Chorus:
Bb Eb Ab Bb
"I'd give my life to be with you"
Fm Bb Fm Bb
Some will die for fortune, some will die for pleasure
Fm Eb Bb
But only lovers died for love

The summer turned into winter

But Annie Painter never came

Cold wind blew through the dark town

And it chilled the heart of John Gumblain

He took the road to every city

He sailed to every port of call

He hung his head as tears were falling

He scratched his message on the wall
Chorus

He was broken, he was crazy

His face was old and cracked with tears

He was dying of disease

That shook his frame for thirteen years

As he lay sickening by the roadside

A voice came drifting through the air

It was the voice of Annie Painter

She sang a song sweet and clear
