Daniel Odonnell - Sweet Forget Me Not

      [Verse 1]
G                                  C                       G
Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower that's bright and fair,
C             G     A7                                  D
Its grace and beauty both combined make the thought more rare;
G                                   C               G
Just like a maiden that I knew who shared my happy lot,
C                G                    D                 G
Where we parted , when she whispered "you'll forget me not."

[Chorus]
G                         C                           G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C               G              A7          D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G                             C                    G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C                G                    D                G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

[Verse 2]
G                                C                        G
We met I really don't know when, but still it's just the same,
C                      G             A7             D
For love grows in the city streets as well as in the lane;
G                                     C             G
I gently clasped her tiny hand one glance at me she shot,
C                        G                         D               G
She dropped her flower, I picked it up - 'twas the sweet forget me not.

[Chorus]
G                         C                           G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C               G              A7          D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G                             C                    G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C                G                    D                G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

[Verse 3]
G                                      C               G
And then there came a happy time when something that I said,
C                    G                A7              D
Caused her lips to murmur, "Yes", and shortly we were wed;
G                            C                     G
There is a house down in the lane and a tiny garden plot,
C                     G                D                       G
Where grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget me not.

[Chorus]
G                         C                           G
She's fragrant and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C               G              A7          D
Time is passing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G                             C                    G
The daisies and primroses are blooming 'round the spot,
C                G                    D                G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."

[Outro]
C       G       D       G
 Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
