Love In Vain


-1  -2 -2   -2  -3'  -2  -3 -3   
I  followed her  to  the station

 -1   -1  -3  -2  -3  2    -2
with her suitcase in  my  hand

-4  5  -4    5  5  -4   5  3   
I  followed her to the station

-1   -1  -3  -2   -3  2  -2
with her suitcase in my hand

-4   -3  -4  -4  -3   -3  -2  -2  -1
It’s so hard to tell, so hard to tell

 2    3    -3'    2  -2
When your love’s in vain,

-4  -4   4    -3'  -2
All my love’s in  vain
