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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

BREAK: (over *F1)

[E] [D] [D] ^[D#]

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

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

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