A D A D A E A D A D E A

A D A
oh , i wish i had someone to love me
E
yes , someone to call me their own
A D A
oh , i wish i had someone to live with
D E A
cause i’m tired of living all alone

A D A
please meet me tonight in the moonlight
E
please meet me tonight all alone
A D A
for i have a sad story to tell you
D E A
it’s a story that’s never been told

A D A
i’ll be carried to the new jail tomorrow
E
leaving my poor ol’ darling alone
A D A
with the cold prison bars all around me
D E A
and my head on a pillow of stone

A D A
now , i have a grand ship out on the ocean
E
all mounted with silver and gold
A D A
and before my poor darling would suffer
D E A
that ship would be anchored and sold

A D A
now , if i had the wings of an angel
E
over these prison walls i would fly
A D A
and i’d fly to the arms of my poor darling
D E A
and there i’d be willing to die

A D A
oh , i wish i had someone to love me
E
yes , someone to call me their own
A D A
oh , i wish i had someone to live with
D E A
cause i’m tired of living all alone
