              Introdução: E7/13 Bm5-/7 A E7/13 E7 A4/7/9 A7/9- A7 
 
E7/13   Bm5-/7  A  E7/13  E7  A9    A     A7 
There's  a   tree in  the meadow 
        D7M  Bm5-/7   Cdim A 
With a stream drifting by, 
     D7M     Fdim      D     A Fdim F#m 
And carved upon    that tree  I  see 
Bm5-/7  A  F#m  D9 E7  A 
"I  love you till I die." 
E7/13   Bm5-/7  A   E7/13 E7   A9    A     A7 
 I     will     always    remember 
    D7M   Bm5-/7  Cdim A 
The love   in   your eye 
     D7M     Fdim      D     A Fdim F#m 
The day you    carved upon that tree 
Bm5-/7  A  F#m  D9 E7  A 
"I   love you till I die." 
Bridge: 
B7   E     C#m7      A        B7 
But further on down lovers' lane, 
    D7M   Bm5-/7  Cdim A 
A silhouette I see; 
   E          C#m7      A      B7 
I know you're kissing someone else  
   D       Edim     E7 
I wish that it were me. 
E7/13   Bm5-/7  A   E7/13 E7   A9    A     A7 
By   that tree in  the mea - dow, 
    D7M   Bm5-/7  Cdim A 
My thoughts al -  ways lie, 
     D7M     Fdim      D     A Fdim F#m 
And where'er you go,    you'll al - ways know 
Bm5-/7  A  F#m  D9 E7  A 
I    love you till I  die.
