Capo: 2nd fret key: e play: d Like a [d] bird that's [d7] lost its mate in [g] flight I'm a-[a7] lone and oh, so blue to-[d] night Like a piece of [d7] driftwood on the [g] sea May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me. I believed the [d7] lies you told to [g] me When you [a7] whispered, "dear, i worship [d] thee!" Now here am [d7] i alone and [g] blue All be-[a7] cause i loved no one but [d] you. I gave up my [d7] friends, i left my [g] home When you [a7] promised to be mine a-[d] lone Now you're gone, our [d7] love could never [g] be May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me. In the bible, [d7] god's own words do [g] say For [a7] ev'ry wrong some day you'll [d] pay I pray the [d7] lord to set me [g] free May you [a7] never be alone like [d] me.
