[Verse 1]
           E             F#m                 D
You were young, but your eyes were younger still
           E        A
When you found me there.
         E             F#m             D
And you rode down the street to watch me work
           E          A
Building tables and chairs.
           E             F#m        D
You wore white, we were married in July
       E          A
In a church on a hill.
        E              F#m                  D
And I cried 'cos you looked just like the winter
  E             A
Dressed in the light.
 
[Chorus]
  D         A
Where do I go?
  D         A   E
What do I know now?
          A         D              E         A
With my sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
 
[Verse 2]
        E          F#m                  D
With my hands oh I worked the night and day
      E           A
And I built you a home
       E              F#m               D
And we raised our own children in those walls
            E         A
Now they're happy and gone
        E           F#m            D
And our yard it was colourful with flowers
     E           A
That scented the air
      E               F#m          D
And I watched as they slowly died away
         E         A
When you needed me there
 
[Chorus 2]
 D        A
Who do I be?
 D        A   E
What do I see now?
          A         D              E         A
With my sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
 
[Verse 3]
         E          F#m            D
You grew old so much faster than I could
      E              A
And I knew you would go
        E         F#m         D
Laid to rest on a Sunday afternoon
        E         A
And you left me alone
 
[Final Chorus]
 D        A
How do I live?
 D         A   E
What do I give now?
          A         D              E         A
With me sweet love gone, with my sweet love gone
