Intro: B  
BThis, no song of inB7genue
EThis, no ballad of Ebinnocence;
G#mThis, the rhyme of a Elady who
C#mFollowed ever the F#natural bents.
BThis, a solo of B7sapience,
EThis, a chantey of Ebsophistry,
G#mThis, the sum of expEeriments,
C#mI loved them until F#they loved Bme.
I loved them until thB7ey loved me.
                     E          Eb  G#m, E, C#m, F#  
  I loved them until they loved me.
BDecked in garments of B7sable hue,
  EDaubed with ashes of Ebmyriad Lents,
  G#mWearing shower bEouquets of rue,
  C#mWalk I ever in F#penitence.
 BOft I roam, as my B7heart repents,
 EThrough God's acre of mEbemory,
  G#mMarking stones, in my rEeverence,
C#mI loved them until F#they loved Bme.
I loved them until thB7ey loved me.
                     E          Eb  G#m, E, C#m, F#  
  I loved them until they loved me.
Pictures Ebpass me in G#mlong review,--
Marching Ecolumns of F#dead evBents.
I was Ebtender, and, G#moften, true;
Ever a C#mprey to coinciF#dence.
 BAlways knew I the B7consequence;
 EAlways saw what the Ebend would be.
  G#mWe're as Nature has Emade us -- hence
C#mI loved them until F#they loved Bme.
I loved them until thB7ey loved me.
                     E          Eb  G#m, E, C#m, F#  
  I loved them until they loved me.
BPrinces, never I'd B7give offense,
 EWon't you think of me Ebtenderly?
  G#mHere's my strength and my Eweakness, gents -
BThis, no song of inB7genue
EThis, no ballad of Ebinnocence;
G#mThis, the rhyme of a Elady who
