Intro : D,A,D

 D                               A 
They were very very happy, their marriage was a gem,
  G                                                  D   A
But death was soon to take his pretty wife away from him;
D                                            G
With her dying breath she whispered, we have everlasting love,
         D                             A                 D
And I'll come back to be with you as a little snow white dove.
          D                            A 
Time went by and nothing happened, the dove did not appear,
    G                                         D
The young man fell in love again and married in a year;
                                              G
But the day he brought his new bride home the neighbors were to see,
  D                                    A                 D
A snow white dove come fluttering down upon the snowball tree.

                                            A
There she sobbed and moaned heartbroken in an almost human way,
G                                                      D
No matter what the weather, she would perch there every day;
                                             G
When the neighbors and the servants, now the story they had learned,
     D                                    A              D
That in the `guise of this white dove the young wife had returned.

                                      A
The new bride heard the story and her nerves began to fail,
    G                                            D
The young man tried to help her but it was to no avail;
                               G
To save his second marriage he knew something must be done,
      D                           A                 D                 E
So at dawning the next morning he went out with his gun.

                                        G
He raised the gun and fired through the leaves so deep and green,
    A                                                     E
The snow white breast turned scarlet and he heard a woman scream;
                                A
The dove flew high into the air and disappeared from sight,
       E                           G                   E
But as he lay there in slumber the young man died that night.

                                             G
'Neath the snow ball tree they buried him to lie in last repose,
    A                                A                E
The young wife and the servants left for where nobody knows;
                                             A
Now the big house stands there empty and the garden lies in ruins,
    E                                         G                    E
But above the young man's grave each year the snow ball tree still blooms.

                                       G
They say that no one comes to see that lonely unkempt green,
    A                                         E
But every year at a certain time a visitor is seen;
    G      E                                   A
And if you spoke to the neighbors then they'll tell you what they see,
      E                                     G                        E
Its a snow white dove with a scarlet breast perched on the snow ball tree.

                                           G
There she sobs and moans heartbroken in an almost human way,
A                                               E
No matter what the weather she will perch there every day;
                                      A
And she seems forlorn and lonely for a love that couldn't last,
            E                         G              E
And you hear her cry in anguish for a sad and tragic past.
