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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

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

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

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