The Lowering A Sad Day In Greenvilletown

[G] If I had known, your  [Bm] heart was down
that  [C] lonely day in  [D] Greenville town,
 [G] Then I would have been  [Bm] more concerned
but  [C] later on I  [D] truly learned
how  [G] it can feel in  [Bm] every bone
to  [C] really see you're  [D] all alone

But  [Em] I'll  [C] kiss your  [G] head,
when  [Em] death  [C] finds your  [G] bed
and you are  C gone

And if I had seen
the way it would be
I'd hushed your cries
when you came to me
If I could do what I did to you
the same to me then I would love for you to see
that I sleep with remorse
and regret hangs round my door
for ever more.

If I had known the lowering tide,
was lowering with the way you felt inside
if I had known all hope was gone
a broken heart and a broken home
That pierced, my lover's past
and carved a lonely path...
for her to walk

So if ever someone one says to you,
life isn't fair, get used to it
Then you should say 'Well it might be&
If folks like you won't let it be'

but I’ll kiss your head
when death becomes my bed
and I am gone
