[G] [F] [F] ^[F#] [G]

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

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

BREAK: (with *F2)
[G] [F] [F] ^[F#] [G]

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: (over *F1)
[G] [F] [F] ^[F#]
[G] [F] [F] ^[F#]

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

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

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