C                             F 
So many beautiful stories are told 

   G7                                   C 
Of love and affection that's purer than gold 

                                             F 
They meet and they love and he makes her his wife 

    G7                                C 
And why it can't last is a mystery of life 

  
                                       F 
I love you my darling I've always been true 

    G7                              C 
Wherever you go I'll be thinking of you 

                                         F 
You say you don't want me you wish to be free 

   G7                                          C 
If that's what you want that's the way it will be 

  
                                     F 
I love you too much and not wisely I know 

  G7                                         C 
I thought it was right cause you said it was so 

                                      F 
And now for my wrong dearly I pay the cost 

    G7                                   C 
The price is so high if your love I have lost 

  
                                        F 
When daddy told mother till death to us part 

   G7                                  C 
He said it and meant it right from the heart 

                                        F 
But now it is different how people have changed 

    G7                                   C 
The words of the Bible they don't mean a thing 

  
                                  F 
God made the ocean the forest and trees 

   G7                                 C 
He made the flowers the birds and the bees 

                                          F 
And why He permits all these troubles and strife 

     G7                              C 
That is just one of the Mysteries Of Life
