Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
It  starts  at daylight
I  see him
Before  my sad  eyes
I  hear him breathing
Oh  lord,
 Need you to leave  me
 No never,
 Thought that you'd leave...
That was  my veil.
That was  my time.
Once held  secret.
 But now lies.
 No words can
 Heal my heart
 In the side I'm broken
 Now it's done
 Was she a pretty girl
 Does she have pretty hair
 Was she soft spoken
 Was there all love there?
 That was my veil.
 That was my time.
 Once held secret.
 But now lies.
 (organ - continue playing verses)
 Give back my veil
 Give back my life
 No more secret
 You give me light
 Give me back my veil
 Give back my time
 No more secret
 You give me lies.
