D                  A7
Cursed with sorrow pain and woe
                G         D
Full of feeling I can't show
                   G
Hopeless love what else for me
     D      A7   D
Is this my destiny

Chorus:
    D7               G
At night I toss and wonder why
A7                G       D
I must live while others die
                      G
The grave would be escape for me
       D     A7    D
From this my destiny

I know God surely made
For every man somewhere a maid
Someone stole my love from me
Is this my destiny

Chorus:
At night I toss and wonder why
I must live while others die
The grave would be escape for me
From this my destiny

From this my destiny
