[Verse 1]
He Acame from his E7palace graAnd, he came to my E7cottage Adoor
His words were E7few but his Alooks, Will linger for E7everAmore
The Dlook in his sad dark Aeyes more Dtender than words could Abe
But I was E7nothing to Ahim and he was the E7world to Ame.
[Verse 2]
There Ain her E7garden she Astands all dressed in fine E7satin and Alace
Lady Mary so E7cold and so Astrange who finds in his E7heart no Aplace.
He Dknew I would be his Abride, with a Dkiss for a lifetime Afee
But I was E7nothing to Ahim and he was the E7world to Ame.
[Verse 3]
ANow in his E7palace grAand on a flower strewn E7bed he Alies
His beautiful E7lids are Aclosed on his sad dark E7beautiful Aeyes
And Damong the mourners who Amourn why Dshould I a mourner Abe
For I was E7nothing to Ahim and he was the E7world to Ame.D  A

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

A E7 A E7 A

He came from his palace grand, he came to my cottage door

E7 A E7 A

His words were few but his looks, Will linger for evermore

D A D A

The look in his sad dark eyes more tender than words could be

E7 A E7 A

But I was nothing to him and he was the world to me.

[Verse 2]

A E7 A E7 A

There in her garden she stands all dressed in fine satin and lace

E7 A E7 A

Lady Mary so cold and so strange who finds in his heart no place.

D A D A

He knew I would be his bride, with a kiss for a lifetime fee

E7 A E7 A

But I was nothing to him and he was the world to me.

[Verse 3]

A E7 A E7 A

Now in his palace grand on a flower strewn bed he lies

E7 A E7 A

His beautiful lids are closed on his sad dark beautiful eyes

D A D A

And among the mourners who mourn why should I a mourner be

E7 A E7 A D A

For I was nothing to him and he was the world to me.
