Ghost Of A Promise

It was April in Georgia the robins were singing
C G D7
She had all my love from the start
G C D7 G
But she was to restless she wanted to wander
D7 G
And she walked away with my heart
C G
It was summer in Utah the mountains were purple
A7 D7
They told me she passed through that way
G C D7 G
So I said I must hurry I’ve got to keep searching
D7 G
We’ll be back together someday
C D7 G
It was autumn in Texas the roses were dying
C G D7
I heard that one day she passed by
G C D7 G
But by then they’d forgotten which way she had wandered
D7 G
I left with a tear in my eye
C G
Now it’s winter in Vermont the snowflakes are falling
A7 D7
I’ve searched every place I can look
G C D7 G
And the ghost of her promise keeps haunting me always
D7 G
I’m missing the heart that she took
C G
I’ve climbed every mountain I searched every valley
A7 D7
Hoping my true love I’d find
G C D7 G
And the ghost of her promise is haunting me always
D7 G
I’ll search ‘til I make her mine
