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
