Lolene Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D]

[Verse 1]
When but a [D]boy I [G]courted [D]Sally
My life was young, not quite six[Bm]teen
We talked [G]of things
I sometimes [D]dreamed of
And things [G]beyond my
wildest [D]dreams
At seventeen I [G]met [D]Wynona
Her warm, red lips set [Bm]me aglow
She taught me [G]things she
should not [D]teach me
More that [G]a young man ought to [D]know
At nineteen years my [G]love was [D]Sara
She was much older than the [Bm]rest
Of all [G]the men she said had [D]kissed her
She loved the [G]way I kissed her [D]be st
Time has [Bm]flown and I am [D]older
My years [Bm]are five and thirty- [D]five
Too late, too [G]late I met my [D]lover
A woman [G]very much [D]alive
Lolene, Lolene your [G]name is [D]music
Your nearness makes my blood run [Bm]wild
Alas, [G]alas I cannot [D]claim you
Compared to [G]me, you're but a [D]child
So one last time I [G]must be [D]with you
And kiss the lips that thrilled my [Bm]heart
And then good[G]bye,
no more [D]to see you
Forever [G]we must be apart

[Outro 1]
