(G2) The background from here to # is pretty much the same
with some slight variations.

Dm                      G               Dm
What if he's died?  All in some bat-tle slain.
Dm                   G                 Dm
Or if he's drown-ed,  in the deep salt sea.
Dm           F      Em           C
What if he's found,  some oth-er love?

He and his  new  love, both mar-ried  be.

If he's found,  some  oth-er love.
Dm                    G               Dm
He and his new  love,  both  mar-ried be.
Dm          F      Em            C
I wish them health   and  hap-pi-ness.
C              Em                      Dm
Where they now dwell,  all a-cross the sea.
Dm                 G          Dm
He picked her  up. Oh, in his arms.
Dm                    G             Dm
And kisses gave  her.  One, two and three.
Dm              F    Em            C
Say-ing weep no more,  my own true love.  (#)

  I am your  long,   lost, John Ri-ley.

Chord diagrams:
Dm     G      F      Em     C
x00231 355433 133211 022000 032010

E,B,G,D,A,E = guitar string, p = pull off, h = hammer on,
vvv = vibrato.

When playing the F, Em, C, Em, Dm sequence, play the dominate
note at the beginning of each chord. F,E,C,B,D. It gives it a
little bit of bass sound.

Try the intro (G1) 1 octave higher. You might like it but since
it's  played on a 12 string I think you need the A (2) and it's
octave on the G string.

Tabbed from: Fifth Dimension. Original LP form the 60's.
