Capo 1
Intro
G A x2
Verse 1
She [A]grew up in a village
That fit [G]into a country [A]vale
With a [D]face of an [A]angel
Which no [G]heart could pre[A]vail
No [G]heart could pre[A]vail
Verse 2
I [A]saw her at spring festival
In a [G]brightly colored [A]dress
With a [D]smile to light your [A]eyes up
And her [G]hair a golden [A]tress
Her [G]hair a golden [A]tress
Chorus
So all you [D]suitors put your [A]hearts away
Though [G]beauty you may [A]see
I [D]claim her for my [A]own true love
And her [G]name is Chari[A]ty
And her [G]name is Chari[A]ty
Verse 3
I [A]tried to have some words with her
But [G]much to my cha[A]grin
[D]Off to one thing [A]on to the next
I had [G]nowhere to be[A]gin
I’d no[G]where to be[A]gin
Verse 4
I [A]finally caught up to her
After [G]many a [A]try
I [D]asked her what’s your [A]name dear
Chari[G]ty asked who was [A]I
Chari[G]ty asked who was [A]I
Chorus
Verse 5
I [A]stumbled and I fumbled
Finally [G]stuttered out my [A]name
She [D]smiled said nice to [A]meet you
To Chari[G]ty I said the [A]same
To Chari[G]ty I said the [A]same
Verse 6
[A]Then she was off to other things
To [G]where I had lost [A]track
A [D]few times I caught [A]sight of her
But she [G]never looked [A]back
No she [G]never did look [A]back
Chorus
Verse 7
They [A]found her late the following day
At the [G]bottom of the [A]vale
[D]Slipped from some ad[A]venture
Hit her [G]head when she [A]fell
Hit her [G]head when she [A]fell
Verse 8
[A]That’s why even to this day
I’ve [G]lost my Chari[A]ty
So [D]if you’re seeking [A]aid my friend
Seek [G]somewhere else but [A]me
For I’ve [G]lost my Chari[A]ty
Ending Chorus
[D]Suitors of my [A]heart today
I’m [G]sure you plainly [A]see
I’ll [D]never have my [A]own true love
I've [G]lost my Chari[A]ty
I've [G]lost my Chari[A]ty
