Died For Love
Ab BbJohn GumblainAb, Bb Annie PainterAb Bb
EbThey were true lovers to the BbendAb Bb
BbThey grew uAbp Bb togetheAbr Bb
EbIn the streets where no one is your Bbfriend
EbThey mixed their hearts' blood toBbgether
EbThey swore they'd Abalways be tBbrue
EbWhen Annie left for the Bbsummer
EbShe said "Ab;For now, but neBbver adAbieu-u-u"
Chorus:
"Bb;I'd givEbe my lifAbe to be Bbwith you"
FmSome will die for Bbfortune, Fmsome will die for Bbpleasure
But Fmonly Eblovers died for Bblove
The summer turned into winter
But Annie Painter never came
Cold wind blew through the dark town
And it chilled the heart of John Gumblain
He took the road to every city
He sailed to every port of call
He hung his head as tears were falling
He scratched his message on the wall
Chorus
He was broken, he was crazy
His face was old and cracked with tears
He was dying of disease
That shook his frame for thirteen years
As he lay sickening by the roadside
A voice came drifting through the air
It was the voice of Annie Painter
She sang a song sweet and clear
Chorus
He went running through the city
He searched for day after day
When he found her, she was dying
And all for love of John Gumblain
She said "Forgive my cruel father
He tried to keep me away
And don't despair for my dying
For this is our wedding day"
Chorus +:
But only lovers died for love (repeat)
