Version 1[Verse 1] D G Well I know that my darling has troubles D A You are hanging down your head D G Your love for me is like the flowers D A D Your love for me’s withered and dead [Chorus] D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillside D A Just to wreath around your brow D G But you kept me a-waiting so long dear D A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 2] D G How can I go through life feeling lonely D A How can I go through life feeling sad D G When my dream and the one that I cherish D A D Has forsaken the good for the bad [Chorus] D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillside D A Just to wreath around your brow D G But you kept me a-waiting so long dear D A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 3] D G I will lift up my head to the angels D A I will seal all my love with a prayer D G And I’ll pray that the Father in Heaven D A D Will unite us in happiness there [Chorus] D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillside D A Just to wreath around your brow D G But you kept me a-waiting so long dear D A D That the flowers have all withered now Tenor Guitar Solo [Verse 4] D G That is all now my darling I’m leaving D A I hope you will always have fun D G While my life here on earth will be lonely D A D While some other my sweetheart has won [Chorus] D G I’ve been gathering the flowers from the hillside D A Just to wreath around your brow D G But you kept me a-waiting so long dear D A D That the flowers have all withered now
