the whole thing, that i've figured out, is just switching between G and D.
if it wasn't for your golden hair
I would not be belonely
If it wasn't for your golden hair
I would not be alone
GIf it wasn't for your piercing stare
DI would not be Gbelonely
If it wasn't for your piercing stare
DI would not be Galone
DI would not waltz in a Gwidow's line
DWhat was yours Gwould not be mine
If it wasn't for your golden hair
DI would not be Galone
GYou courted me with princely airs
DSaid you'd love me Gonly
Kiss the ribbons in my hair
DSaid darling come and Gfly
GFlower of the Calvary
DYou swept me off my Gsaddle
GLifted me into your life
DA soldier's wife was GI
DYou marched proudly Gfor the horn
DI prayed for your Gswift return
DI waited for you Gso forlorn
D'Ere to be Galone
GI longed for you, I longed to die
DI was so Gbelonely
The pillow's bare by my side
DAnd yet I shall Gabide
DFor heaven has Gaset for me
DCompanion for Geternity
DSo kiss the ribbons Gin my hair
DSay darling come and Gfly
GIf it wasn't for your golden hair
DI would not be Galonely
If it wasn't for your golden hair
