A D A
For many years I've been a rolling stone, my darling
E
Like a gypsy I have roamed from place to place
A D
Fortune never came to me, how happy I would be
A E A
Just to look again upon your smiling face
(Chorus)
Now if I should wander back tonight would you be waiting
Would your eyes be filled with love's own tender light
Would your arms be empty dear, would you thrill to find me near
Would you love me if I'd wander back tonight
When budding flowers lend their fragrance in the springtime
I recall the roses twining round your door
Fancy then I homeward stay and I seem to hear you say
That you love me as you did in days of yore
(Repeat Chorus)
Last night I dreamed that you and I were back together
I held your hand so gently in my own
Heard you say we'd never part as I pressed you to my heart
Then I woke in tears to find myself alone
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
