VERSE 1:
[F#] We were together since [E] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^[F] in [F#] everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen, [E] nobody laughed
A face like an angel, she could ^[F] be [F#] anything

CHORUS:
Emmaline, Emma, [E] Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high
on ^[F] that [F#] silver screen
Emmaline, Emma, [E] Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star
this world ^[F] has [F#] ever seen

[F#] [E] [E] ^[F] [F#]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

[F#] [E] [E] ^[F]
[F#] [E] [E] ^[F]

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

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

OUTRO:
[F#] Emmaline [E] [E] ^[F] [F#]
Aahhh, Emmaline [E] [E] ^[F] [F#]

Aahhh, Emmaline [E] [E] ^[F] [F#]
