In the shadow of the pines (video)

D A D

1. We had wandered in the shadow of the pines,

A

the moon looked down on you and me,

D D7 G

and a darkness stole across the summer sky,

A A7 D

and a shadow came between my love and me.

G D

Oh, darling, come, love me as before,

A

come back to leave me nevermore !

D G D

At that spot I'm sad and lonely and the sun no longer shines,

D A D

come and meet me in the shadow of the pines

+ D - G - D - D - A - D

D G D

2. Oh, you went away and left me and my tears I could not hide,

A

you went away and not a word was said.

D G D

While my throbbing heart was breaking underneath its load of pride,

D A D

and the pine trees sobbed in pity o'er my head.

+ CHORUS + D - G - D - D - A - D

D G D

3. All our future is o'er shadowed by the darkness of despair,

A

and across life's path the sun no longer shines.

D G D

Oh, I'd give this whole world gladly once again to meet her there,

D A D

and reunite in the shadow of the pines.

+ CHORUS + D - G - D - D - A - D
