Cherry Blossom Love Chords

Em                                A
She waited under wildwood, under maple and pine
D                  Dm              G            Am
Wondering when her cherry blossom love would arrive

Em                         A
He once was a young man in love with a girl like me
D                 Dm              G
They’d sit alone together under a cherry blossom tree

Em                                     A
Time would turn their sunny day like magic into dusk
D                Dm        G
A single moment suddenly a year passed by in love

                C
But then he was gone
         E
He was gone
       A                                    D                    G
She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song

      C                                  E
I’ll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree
    A                                 D           G
And if you cannot meet me there I’ll try another tree

     C
I’ll sit beneath a hemlock
      E
I’ll sit below a pine
       A                                  D               G
I’ll sit under the peach tree where you told me you were mine

       C                               E
I’ll wait for you through winter when all the leaves have died
       A                               D               G     Am
I’ll wait for you to come to me with snow tears in my eyes

Ooh ~

F                              Am
All is gone from me today and till the end of time
     G                                       F
Her hair grew gray and blossoms layered her body like a vine
       Dm                                Am
The blossoms planted seeds and cherries fell across her chest
         E                          F
They covered the ground around and muffled her request
       G                          Am
The Cherry lady laden with the saddest fruit to bear
        Dm               Am              E                Am
The sweetest juice left bitter proof of love’s uncertain care

               C
Cause he was gone
        E
He was gone

        A                                    D                   G
She searched for him then sat beneath their tree and sang this song
     C                                   E
I’ll wait for your return my love under our cherry blossom tree
     F                                 G
and if you cannot meet me there I’ll never never be
