G
I once had a sweetheart
C G
But now I have none
She's gone off and left me
D D7
To live here alone
G
She's gone off and left me
C
Contented to be
G
For she loves another man
D G
Better than me
Chorus
G C G
Then green grow the lilacs and so does the rue
'Tis lonely, my darling
D D7
Since parting from you
G
And at our next meeting
C
I hope you'll prove true
G D G
And change the green lilacs for the red, white and blue
G
She passed by my window
C G
Both early and late
G
twas the looks that she gave me
D D7
That made my heart break
G
For the looks that she gave me
C
Ten thousand would kill
G D G
For loving another would make me quite ill
Chorus
G C G
Then green grow the lilacs and so does the rue
'Tis lonely, my darling
D D7
Since parting from you
G
And at our next meeting
C
I hope you'll prove true
G D G
And change the green lilacs for the red, white and blue
G
I wrote her a letter
C G
In fancy fine line
G
She sent me an answer
D D7
All tangled in twine
G
Saying you keep your love letters
C
And I will keep mine
G
Just you write your true love
D
And I'll write to mine
Chorus
G C G
Then green grow the lilacs and so does the rue
'Tis lonely, my darling
D D7
Since parting from you
G
And at our next meeting
C
I hope you'll prove true
G D G
And change the green lilacs for the red, white and blue
G D G
And change the green lilacs for the red, white and blue
