Bb                F      F            Gm 
Since I first saw him, I think myself blind 
  Gm                                 D 
I look around me and it's only him I see 
Bb                      F      F            Gm 
His image floats before me so gentle and so kind 
   Gm                 D 
He has got a clear mind and firm courage 
 
    Gm           D       F             C 
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring 
  Cm                     Gm          D 
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart 
Gm             D       F              C 
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear 
  Cm                     Gm          D 
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle 
 
   Bb           F               F          Gm 
I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him 
  Gm                                 D 
Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness 
Gm           D       F             C 
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring 
  Cm              D               Gm 
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart

    Gm                Aº            Bb    Gm 
The blissful dream of childhood has ended 
  Cm           D                        Gm 
Now I drink delicious death with you my love 
 Gm             Aº                 Bb    Gm 
Now you have me caused me my first pain,     that really hurt 
Cm                     D                       Gm 
   You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death 
 
Gm                    Aº               Bb                D 
  The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls 
              Gm6 
You, my whole world
