Darling, how can I stay here without you,
E A
I have nothing to cheer my poor heart,
D A
this old world would seem sad, love, without you,
E E7 A
tell me now that we're never to part.
D A
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love,
E A
and I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring,
D A
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom,
E E7 A
only say that you'll love me again.
( D A E A ) (2x)
D A
Take back all the gifts you have given,
E A
but a ring and a lock of your hair,
D A
and a card with your picture upon it,
E E7 A
it's a face that is false, but is fair.
D A
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love,
E A
and I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring,
D A
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom,
E E7 A
only say that you'll love me again.
( D A E A ) (2x)
D A
Tell me why that you do not love me,
E A
tell me why that your smile is not bright.
D A
Tell me why you have grown so cold-hearted,
E E7 A
is there no kiss for me, love, tonight ?
D A
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love,
E A
and I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring,
D A
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom,
E E7 A
only say that you'll love me again.

D A
Oh, I'll pawn you my gold watch and chain, love,
E A
and I'll pawn you my gold diamond ring,
D A
I will pawn you this heart in my bosom,
E E7 A
only say that you'll love me again.
