Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Poor old heartsick me
Twice as lonely as a [A]girl ought to be
What will the future be
For poor old heartsick [D]me

[Verse 2]
I [D]thought I was mute to
that big yellow moon
And its magic fell all of [A]pure snow
In the moonlight it's hard to
keep a heart on guard
Against love that's waiting [D]to grow

[Verse 3]
As I'm [D]enclosed in your arms,
all my calls for alarm
Just roll on like the waves in [G]the sea
When you cast me aside,
I [D]just hatch down and cry
[A]Poor old heartsick [D]me

[Verse 4]
[D]Poor old heartsick me
Twice as lonely as a [A]girl ought to be
What will the future be
For poor old heartsick [D]me

[Interlude 1]
[D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
You're made [D]part out of me as
God made Adam for Eve
It's the same as He made you for [A]me
What if Adam like you had
gone off rambling, too
What kind of this old world would this [D]be

[Verse 6]
You don't [D]want to admit that you,
too, have been bit
By that love god, those tiny [G]teeth
Why don't you realize,
you just [D]mean paradise
[A]Poor old heartsick [D]me

[Verse 7]
[D]Poor old heartsick me
Twice as lonely as [A]a girl ought to be
What will the future be
For poor old heartsick [D]me

[Verse 8]
For [A]poor old heartsick [D]me
