Libbies Song Tab

by Patti Smith


the whole thing, that i've figured out, is just switching between G and D.

if it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be belonely

If it wasn't for your golden hair

I would not be alone

If it wasn't for your piercing stare
                
I would not be belonely

If it wasn't for your piercing stare
              
I would not be alone
                      
I would not waltz in a widow's line
                   
What was yours would not be mine

If it wasn't for your golden hair
              
I would not be alone

You courted me with princely airs
                  
Said you'd love me only

Kiss the ribbons in my hair
                     
Said darling come and fly

Flower of the Calvary
                   
You swept me off my saddle

Lifted me into your life
                    
A soldier's wife was I
                   
You marched proudly for the horn
                      
I prayed for your swift return
                
I waited for you so forlorn
          
'Ere to be alone
                   
I longed for you, I longed to die
        
I was so belonely

The pillow's bare by my side
               
And yet I shall abide
                 
For heaven has aset for me
             
Companion for eternity
                   
So kiss the ribbons in my hair
                    
Say darling come and fly

If it wasn't for your golden hair
              
I would not be alonely

If it wasn't for your golden hair
