VERSE 2:
[A] At seventeen [G] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our [G#] daily [A] bread
And every day Emma would go out [G] searching for that play
That never, [G#] ever [A] came her way

VERSE 3:
You know sometimes she'd come home, [G] so depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room, [G#] feel [A] so distressed
And I'd remember back when [G] she was five
To the words that used to make, Emma-[G#]-line [A] come alive, it was

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: (over *F1)
[A] [G] [G] [G#]
[A] [G] [G] [G#]

VERSE 4:
[A] It was a cold and dark De-[G]-cember night
When I opened up [G#] the [A] bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold up-[G]-on the bed
A love letter lying on [G#] the [A] bedroom floor

VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I [G] love you
But I just can't keep on living [G#] on [A] dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to [G] leave you alone
I just can't keep [G#] on [A] trying no more

OUTRO:
[A] Emmaline [G] [G] [G#] [A]
Aahhh, Emmaline [G] [G] [G#] [A]
[A] Emmaline [G] [G] [G#] [A]
Aahhh, Emmaline [G] [G] [G#] [A]
