VERSE 1:
[A] We were together since
[G] we were five, she was so pretty
Emma was a star ^

VERSE 2:
[A] At seventeen
[G] we were wed
I'd work day and night, to earn our ^

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

To the words that used to make, Emma-^
[G#]-line
[A] come alive, it was

When I opened up ^

To find her lying still and cold up-

A love letter lying on ^
[G#] the
[A] bedroom floor
