I fell in love with a girl of nineteen 2-0-2 on 4th as in Intro

A black-haired girl I called Abilene Walk up to C on 5th

Young girl, where's your husband? 
C            G/C            Am 
Sadly, she replied, I do not have one 
C                 G/C   Am 
Then it's you I'll marry with your parents' permission 
humming: Am - C - G/C - Am 
  
  
C      G/C   Am 
No fine sir, they will not let me marry 
   C 
For I am a young girl 
   G/C                   Am 
And you are a man without money 
          C             G/C 
Then I'll come by your window 
Am 
Tonight when they both will be sleeping 
humming: Am - C - G/C - Am 
  
  
C          G/C     Am 
Outside your window in a carriage I will be waiting 
       C                 G/C 
They'll awake to find you gone 
          Am 
Open their eyes and think they're dreaming 
   C              G/C 
And never did they think 
          Am 
That their Abilene would leave them 
humming: Am - C - C/G - Am 
  
  
C       G/C   Am 
Now fine sir, where is it you shall take me? 
      C               G/C 
Is it in the mountains high 
  Am 
Or is it the deep blue sea? 
humming: Am - C - G/C - Am
