Down From Dover Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DI know this dress I'm wearing doesn't Chide the secret GI have tried Dconcealing

 When he left he promised me that he'd be back by the Ctime Git was reDvealing

 The Csun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow O'er the fields of Dclover

 And time is running out for me I wiCsh that he would huGrry down from DoDver

I’ve been gone so long when I left the snow was deep upon the ground

And she has seen the spring and summer come and now the leaves are turning brown

Ant any time a tiny face will show itself, the waiting's almost over

But she won't have any name to give it if I don't hurry down from Dover

My folks weren't understanding when they found out sent me from the home place

My daddy said if folks found out he'd be ashamed to ever show his face

My momma said I was a fool, she did not believe it when I told her

That everything would be alright for soon he would be coming down from Dover

D♯She loved me more than anything, she C♯could not reG♯fuse me when I D♯needed me

 She was the only one I'd loved and she did not bC♯elieve that IG♯ was uD♯sing her

 He C♯couldn't leave me here like this, I know it can't be so it can't be D♯over

 I wouldn't make me go through this alone, I C♯will be coming G♯down from D♯Dover

My body aches, the time is here, it's lonely in this place where I'm lyin'

Our baby has been born but something's wrong, It's much too still hear no cryin'

I guess in some strange way she knew she'd never have father's arms to hold her

And dying was her way of telling me he wasn't coming down from Dover
