Lyrics

(G)When you (C)meet a boy

that you (B)like a lot,

and you (A)fall in love

but he (D7sus)loves you not;

if a (G)flame should start

as you (Am)hold him near,

bet ter (F#)keep your heart

(B7)out of (Dm7)dan ger, dear.

(G)For the (C)way of love

is a (B)way of woe,

and the (A)day may come

when you’ll (D7sus)see him go.

Then, what (Dm7)will you do

(G)when he (E)sets you free,

just the (Dm7)way that you

(G)said good (Dm)bye to me?

(C)When you (F)meet a boy

that you (E)like a lot,

and you (D)fall in love

but he (G7sus)loves you not;

if a (C)flame should start

as you (Dm)hold him near,

bet ter (B)keep your heart

(E7)out of (C7)dan ger, dear.

(C)For the (F)way of love

is a (E)way of woe,

and the (D)day may come

when you’ll (G7sus)see him go.

Then, what (Gm7)will you do

(C)when he (A)sets you free,

just the (Gm7)way that you

(C)said good (Gm)bye to (F)me?

That’s the (Gm)way of (F)love,

the (Gm)way of (F)love.
