I've [G]lived a long [C]life
And now I'm [D]looking back
It's the [G]end of the [C]road
The last [D]stop on the track
And I [G]smile as I [C]think
Of my [D]true love once more
The [G]light of my [C]life the [D]one I adore
CHORUS
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Prettiest [C]girl with the [D]loveliest eyes
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Shiny black [C]hair and those [D]lovely, t[D]hose lovely brown eyes
G, C, D x4
I [G]met her one [C]night
At the [D]harvest fair dance
I [G]longed for a [C]whisper
I [D]hoped for a glance
Then she [G]turned and she [C]smiled
And I [D]melted away
And I [G]knew I?d be [C]with her ?til [D]my dying day
CHORUS
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Prettiest [C]girl with the [D]loveliest eyes
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Shiny black [C]hair and those [D]lovely, t[D]hose lovely brown eyes
G, C, D x4
We [G]lay on the [C]cliffs and we [D]walked hand in hand
We threw [G]stones in the [C]waves
We drew [D]hearts in the sand
Without [G]warning clouds [C]rolled in and [D]blackened the sun
And [G]when they rolled [C]out
My [D]light she was gone
CHORUS
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Prettiest [C]girl with the [D]loveliest eyes
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Shiny black [C]hair and those [D]lovely, t[D]hose lovely brown eyes
G, C, D x8
G once
Now I've shed all my tears
D once
And I've said my goodbyes
G once
Now I'll lay myself down
D once
Where my pretty girl lies
G once D once
And when I awake I'll be on earth no more
I'll be d[G]ancin' a [C]jig with the [D]girl I adore
CHORUS x2
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Prettiest [C]girl with the [D]loveliest eyes
[G]She[D]...[C]she was the [D]prize
[G]Shiny black [C]hair and those [D]lovely, t[D]hose lovely brown eyes
