VERSE 1:
[A#] We were together since
[G#] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^
[A] in
[A#] everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen,
[G#] nobody laughed
A face like an angel, she could ^
[A] be
[A#] anything
CHORUS:
Emmaline, Emma,
[G#] Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high
on ^

VERSE 2:
[A#] At seventeen
[G#] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our ^
[A] daily
[A#] bread
And every day Emma would go out
[G#] searching for that play
That never, ^
[A] 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, ^
[A] feel
[A#] so distressed
And I'd remember back when
[G#] she was five
To the words that used to make, Emma-^
[A]-line
[A#] come alive, it was

VERSE 4:
[A#] It was a cold and dark De-
[G#]-cember night
When I opened up ^
[A] the
[A#] bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold up-
[G#]-on the bed
A love letter lying on ^
[A] the
[A#] bedroom floor
VERSE 5:
It read: Darling I
[G#] love you
But I just can't keep on living ^
[A] on
[A#] dreams no more
I tried so very hard not to
[G#] leave you alone
I just can't keep ^
[A] on
[A#] trying no more
