[Intro]
| C | G7 | C | C |
[Verse 1]
C G7 G7
One heart too many I have broken
G C C
Love dreams that faded and died
C G G
Too many teardrops have fallen
D7 G7 G7
Too many vows cast aside
[Verse 2]
G C C
Soft wedding bells should be ringing
G7 C C
For us in the chapel tonight
F C A7
But this morning they tolled and her bright band of gold
D D7 G7 G7
Was returned with this message tonight
[Verse 3]
C G7 G
Your sweetheart has left us today
G7 G C C
Heartbroken God took her away
F C A7
That silk gown of white, for her wedding tonight
D G7 G7
She wore as they laid her away
[Chorus]
C G7 G7
Though she died for a love all in vain
G C C
Her last words were callin' your name
C F
As I walked to her grave, where the bluebonnets wave
C G7 C C
I cried but my tears were too late
[Parlando]
C F
Tonight sweetheart, as I kneel here alone beside you
A G7
And my tears stain the flowers on your grave
C F
In deep regret I think, of the heart that I have wounded
C G7 C
Of the sorrow and grief and the life that I could have saved
F
- Yes tonight darlin' you were to be my loving bride
C G7
But all that I have left now is; I bow to pray
C7 C F
Is your ring, a picture and the sad message that they sent me
C G7 C
And this rose that I am taking from your grave
[Chorus]
