[Verse 1]
The Glady G/Fgave me Emflowers and CI reGfused them
For Cflowers G/Bwill not Amgrow aCmong the Dweeds
And the GkindnesG/Fses she Emoffered, CI aGbused them
My Cwants were G/Balways Amgreater Cthan my Dneeds
[Chorus]
And she Bmtried so very Chard, Embut I Gdidn't Bmhear a Emword
For I was Ffar away and Amcouldn't hear her Dcry
[Verse 2]
My Glady G/Ftook her Emtroubles Cand deGserted
To Ctake a G/Bstranger's Amarm to Clean and Dcry
And GsuddenG/Fly my Emsenses Cwere reGverted
But Cslowly G/Ball her Amfeelings Cpassed me Dby
[Chorus]
And she Bmtried so very Chard Emto Gchoose a Bmfriendly Emword
But I was Fcloser now and Amtried to hear Dher cry
[Verse 3]
And when she Gcomes to G/Fme in Emdreams, I Cfind I'm Gturning
To Cface her, G/Bwhen beAmfore I Cturned aDway
When Gbefore I G/Fwouldn't Emlisten, Cnow I'm Glearning
To Chear the G/Bgentle Amwords she Chad to Dsay
[Chorus]
And now I Bmtry so very Chard Emto Ghear Bmher every Emword
But Fall the time I Amseem to hear her Dcry

[Intro]

G G/F Em

[Verse 1]

G G/F Em C G

The lady gave me flowers and I refused them

C G/B Am C D

For flowers will not grow among the weeds

G G/F Em C G

And the kindnesses she offered, I abused them

C G/B Am C D

My wants were always greater than my needs

[Chorus]

Bm C Em G Bm Em

And she tried so very hard, but I didn't hear a word

F Am D

For I was far away and couldn't hear her cry

[Verse 2]

G G/F Em C G

My lady took her troubles and deserted

C G/B Am C D

To take a stranger's arm to lean and cry

G G/F Em C G

And suddenly my senses were reverted

C G/B Am C D

But slowly all her feelings passed me by

[Chorus]

Bm C Em G Bm Em

And she tried so very hard to choose a friendly word

F Am D

But I was closer now and tried to hear her cry

[Verse 3]

G G/F Em C G

And when she comes to me in dreams, I find I'm turning

C G/B Am C D

To face her, when before I turned away

G G/F Em C G

When before I wouldn't listen, now I'm learning

C G/B Am C D

To hear the gentle words she had to say

[Chorus]

Bm C Em G Bm Em

And now I try so very hard to hear her every word

F Am D

But all the time I seem to hear her cry
