Strum
D-DU-UDU
In  parallel sea what would I be?
 My first  love said to  me,
 "Tears out for the world  to see"
 I would not  be
 I did not see the  chinaberry tree
 Tears out, it would feel  so
 Heavenly,  heavenly, heavenly
Hard  now to picture a me
 Without  a you, without a you
 "Don't interfere"
 Part of her  back was frozen
 For the remainder  of the war
 "Don't  be concerned"
 But I  never learned how not to  be
 As my first  love said to me,
 "I don't  care. I'm not there."
 So that  I could not sleep
 My whole being was falling  apart
 So that I soon cried  out,
 "Dear friends, hold  me!"
