Emma

Akkoorden in dit liedje

(A)We were together since (G)we were five
She was so pretty
Emma was a star in (A)everyone's eyes
And when she said she'd be a movie queen
(G)Nobody laughed
A face like an angel
She could be (A)anything

Emmaline   (G)Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna write your name high on that (A)silver screen
Emmaline   (G)Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has (A)ever seen

At seventeen (G)we were wed
I'd work day and night
To earn our (A)daily bread
And every day Emma would go out
(G)Searching for that play
That never, ever (A)came her way
You know sometimes she'd come home   (G)So depressed
I'd hear her crying in the back room   Feel (A)so distressed
And I'd remember back when (G)she was five
To the words that used to make  Emmaline (A)come alive

It was :  "Emmaline,    (G)Emma, Emmaline,
I'm gonna write your name high on that (A)silver screen.
Emmaline,     (G)Emma, Emmaline
I'm gonna make you the biggest star this world has (A)ever seen."

It was a cold and dark De(G)cember night
When I opened up the (A)bedroom door
To find her lying still and cold (G)Upon the bed
A love letter lying on the (A)bedroom floor
It read :   "Darling I (G)love you,
But I just can't keep on living on (A)dreams no more.
I tried so very hard not to (G)leave you alone.
I just can't keep on (A)trying no more."

Emmaline    (G)Aaargh, Emmaline
Aaargh      Emma, Emmaline
Aaargh      Emma, Emmaline
