Am Em
Once my life was plain and clear
Am
I recall
Em
Once my ignorance was bliss
Am Em G
Nightfall came
Bb Am
Like a serpent’s kiss
Em Am
To my troubled mind
Dm Am
Why... Oh why my God
Dm Am
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Dm Am
Behind the old façade
Bb
I'm your bewildered child
C Dm
So take me cross the river wide

Am Em Am
Binding promisses were made on my soul
Em
Grand illusions lead astray
Am Em G Bb Am
Ice cold winds swept my heart away
Em Am
Bring me back to you
Dm Am
Why... Oh why my God
Dm Am
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Dm G
Behind the old façade
Bb
I'm your bewildered child
C Dm
So take me cross the river wide
-- Helena --
Dm
I remember a song
Am
Like in a dream
Dm
Where September was long
Am
And winter unreal
Dm Am
Why... Oh why my God above
Dm Am
Have you abandoned me in my sobriety
Dm G
Behind the old façade
Bb
I'm your bewildered child
C Dm
So take me cross the river wide
I have a youtube link of myself performing this for a demo if you would like to
hear it to clarify timing, fingerpicking and strumming patterns.
