The sweet forget me not GBC
Intro capo 2 G C/G G Gsus4 D Gsus4 D G
[Verse 1]
G C/G C G
Fancy brings a thought to me of a flower that's bright and fair,
C G A7 A7/G D
Its grace and beauty both combined make the flower more rare;
G C/G C G
Just like a maiden that I knew who shared my happy lot,
C G D Dsus4 D G
Where we parted , when she whispered "you'll forget me not."
[Chorus]
G Gsus4 C CaddG G
She's graceful and, she's charming like the lily in the pond,
C CaddG G A7 A7/G D
Time is flowing swiftly by, of her I am so fond;
G Gsus4 G C/G C G
The roses and the dais--ies their blooming 'round the spot,
C CaddG G Gsus4 D Dsus4 D G
Where we parted, when she whispered, "You'll forget me not."
[Verse 2]
G C/G C G
We met I really don't know when, but I guess it's just the same,
C G A7 A7/G D
For love grows in the city streets as well as in the lane;
G C/G C G
I gently took her by the hand and a glance at me she shot,
C G D Dsus4 D G
She dropped her flower, I picked it up 'twas the sweet forget me not.

[Verse 3]
G C/G C G
And then there came a happy time when something that I said,
C G A7 A7/G D
Caused her lips to murmur, "Yes", and shortly we were wed;
G C/G C G
Now there’s a cottage by the lake and a tiny garden spot,
C G D Dsus4 D G
Where grows a flower, I know it well, it's the sweet forget me not.
