Gaetas Lament

  Em      C
Alone she sleeps
        B       C
In the shirt of man
     Em       B
With my three wishes
         C  B   Am  B
Clutched in her hand.

    Em         C
The first that she
   B          C
Be spared the pain
     Em           B
That comes from a dark
    C   B    Am  B
And laughing rain.

     Em        C
When she finds love
       B           C
May it always stay true,
       Em          B
This I beg for the second
     C B    Am  B
Wish I made too.

To have her please
     Em      B
Just one day wake!
   Am   B   C
To have her please
     Em      B
Just one day wake!
   Am   B   C  B
To have her please...
     B       Em
Just one day wake.
