[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.
