  5   -4    4   4  -4    4  -4   5  7
Thou wilt come no more, gen-tle An-nie

 -7 -6    6   -6    4  4  -4   5  -4
Like a flow'r thy spir-it did de-part;

  5  -4    4   4 -4     4  -4   5  7
Thou art gone, a-las! like the man-y

 -7   -6     6    -5
That have bloomed in

 5   5  -4   4 -3   4
the sum-mer of my heart.

chorus

  6    6 -6  -8   7  -6   6    5
Shall we nev-er more be-hold thee;

-7  7   5   -4   4    4    -4  5  -4
Nev-er hear thy win-ning voice a-gain

  5  -4     4     4   -4     4  -4   5  7
When the Spring-time comes, gen-tle An-nie,

 -7  -6    6    -5 
When the wild flow'rs

 5    5   -4     4  -3    4
are scat-tered o'er the plain?

verse 2
We have roamed and loved mid the bowers,
When thy downy cheeks were in their bloom;
Now I stand alone mid the flowers
While hey mingle their perfumes o'er thy tomb.

verse 3
Ah,The hours grow sad while I ponder
Near the silent spot where thou art laid
And my heart bows down when I wander
By the streams and the meadows where we strayed.

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
