[Verse]
    Em      D
The sun did rise,
C             G/B         Am   A9  Am
yesterday, on that frozen hill
Em          D
As the crow flies,
      C            G/B        Am   A9  Am
about twenty miles from Brownsville
   Em      D
As I lay asleep
C           G/B          Am     A9  Am
Comfortably caught in my dream
Em         D
Visions of you
C           G/B      Am      A9  Am  A
Wading in a mountain stream


[Chorus]
              G
And there's a story
Em     D             G    Em  D
No one knows if it's true
        G
About a maiden
Em      D         G   Em  D
Just as pretty as you
       C
It's a tale of a soldier who
Bm               F
Left that maiden blue


Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am
Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am


[Verse]
   Em      D
As I walk alone
     C           G/B        Am   A9  Am
This path that I chose long ago
Em       D
Try as I may
  C             G/B      Am   A9  Am
I can't keep my demons below
    Em    D              C
And every tear that I've caused
      G/B        Am    A9  Am
Comes back twelvefold
    Em       D       C
And my destiny is to walk through
    G/B          Am    A9  Am  A
The rain and the cold



[Chorus]
              G
And there's a story
Em     D             G    Em  D
No one knows if it's true
        G
About a maiden
Em      D         G   Em  D
Just as pretty as you
       C
It's a tale of a soldier who
Bm               F
Left that maiden blue



[Verse]
Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am
Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am
Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am
Em  D  C  G/B  Am  A9  Am  A



[Chorus]
              G
And there's a story
Em     D             G    Em  D
No one knows if it's true
        G
About a maiden
Em      D         G   Em  D
Just as pretty as you
       C

Left that maiden blue

[Verse]
    Em      D
The sun did set,
     C          G/B         Am   A9  Am
last night on a Brownsville town
        Em            D
And the darkness that fell
   C           G/B           Am    A9  Am
We hope never again shall be found
    Em     D
And I lay awake
        C           G/B            Am   A9  Am
Hearing echoes of a young maiden's song
    Em          D
And sleep never came
         C               G/B       Am    A9  Am
Just the thoughts of the one I did wrong

Em  D  C  G/B
Em  D  C  G/B
Em  D  C      G/B       Am
          The one I did wrong
