THE GIRL I LEFT BEHIND ME chrom
19th C. Irish folk song
Key: D
Time: 2/4
-99* -8 -7 -6* -5 6 -5 -4
The hour was sad, I left the maid
4* -5 -5 -5 6 -6*7 -7 -6*
A lin-g’ring fare-well tak-ing
-99* -8 -7 -6* -5 6 -5 -4
Her sighs and tears my steps de-layed
-5 5* 6 -3 -44* -5 -5
I thought her heart was break-ing
-77 -6* -7 -8 8* -9 -7 -6*
In hur-ried words her name I blessed
-5 -6* -7 -8 8* -9 9*
I breathed the vows that bind me
-99*-8 -7 -6* -5 6 -5 -4
And to my heart in an-guish pressed
-5 5* 6 -3 -44* -5 -5
The girl I left be-hind me
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
