G
An American boy met an English girl
    C              G
Far out across the sea

They laughed and loved and lived each day
A7                     D7
Their life was full of glee

G
They knew someday he must return 
   C              G
To his native family

When it came and the aye was nigh
      D7                 G
These words he heard her say


Please don�t leave me here to cry
  C                    G
I watch as sweethearts flee

Seems so hard for us to part
A7                   D7
And leave me here to grieve

G
Though I know you must return
   C               G
To your native family 

Tell me that you love me dear
    D7              G
And will return someday


He kissed her then he said goodbye
    C             G
And slowly walked away

He could not bear to see her cry
A7                       D7
It filled his heart with pain

G
She prayed and dreamed of his return
  C               G
Although it never came

He wed anew in his native land
    D7                       G
But inside these words still ring

Repeat #3 & 4
