John Prine - They’ll Never Take Her Love From Me

[Intro]
A7 D

[Verse 1]
D
If today the sun should set
G
on all my hopes and cares
A7
There is still one smiling face
D
the gods would see
D
Cuz she’ll walk along beside me
G
up the golden stairs
A7
Oh they’ll never ever
D D7
take her love from me
G
What a fool I was to go
D
and break the trust she gave
D A7
And watch her love turn into sympathy
D
It’s the one regret I’ll carry
G
with me to my grave
A7
Oh they’ll never never
D
take her love from me

[Instrumental]

D G A7 D

[Verse 2]
D
I’m so thankful for each
G
golden hour of happiness
A7
That we shared together
D
in the used to be
D
Someone else’s arms may hold her
G
now in fond caress
A7
But they’ll never ever
D D7
take her love from me
G
Well I thought I’d make her happy
D
if I’d step aside
D
But I knew her love
A7
would never set me free
D
And even on the morning
G
she became another’s bride
A7
I said, “They’ll never, never
D
take her love from me”
A7
No they’ll never never
D
take her love from me
