Introduction

G  D   D   Em   G  D    D    Em
So sad her eyes smiling dark eyes
G  D   D   Em   G  D  D Am *   Am7/G    Fmaj7 -> F7    E
So sad her eyes as it began

Verses

Am *   
On such a breathless night as this
Am7/G    
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
Fmaj7   ->    F7    E
I walked alone
Am *  
And all around the air did sway
Am7/G 
My lady soon will stir this way
Fmaj7   ->     F7    E
In sorrow known
    Am          G
The white queen walks
        C     G/B   Am
And the night grows pale
D        Am         D
Stars of lovingness in her hair
G  D    D  Em    G   D    D  Em    
Heeding un-heard pleading one word
G  D   D  Em   G   D  D   Am  *
So sad my eyes she cannot see
Am *  
How did thee fare what have thee seen
Am7/G   
The mother of the willow green
Fmaj7    ->    F7    E
I call her name
Am *  
And 'neath her window have I stayed
Am7/G
I loved the footsteps that she made
Fmaj7     ->     F7     E
And when she came
A                  Dm        F7
White queen how my heart did ache
Bb                 Esus4      E
And dry my lips no word would make
Am
So still I wait

I speak too late
D        Am      D       A
It's for evermore that I wait

Dear friend goodbye

No tears in my eyes

So sad it ends 
G  D  D Em
As it began
