 |Dm |C C/B |Am |
 Under forest branches she came to me,
      2/4    4/4 
 |Dm |C C/B |Am |
 Until the day she cried aloud a father I should be.
 4/4      
 |Dm |F |G
 That was the last time that we met,I never saw her again,for she
 
 |Dm/F C/G |G |Dm9
 took her life on Princeton Wharf to save my worthy name.

 |Dm |C C/B |Am |
 She found Death's open arms and lay in their embrace
      2/4    4/4 
 |Dm |C C/B |Am |
 I watched as icy fingers clawed her lovely face. Now I
 |Dm |F |G
 stumble through the mist to where they laid her in her grave,and
 
 |Dm/F C/G |G |Dm9
 daily I'll remember flowers for my Jay.

 Em                   F                     
 Far beyond this land I will take your hand,
     C                            Gsus4   G 
 The spirit of our love will live forever.
 Em                    F                   
 Far beyond the clouds we will laugh aloud,
     C                            Gsus4  G 
 The spirit of our love will live again.
