Am      Em
Dear Ophelia,
Am            Em
   I love you dear,
    Am    Em     Am           Em
I'm sorry that I haven't been here.
Am       Em
Dear Ophelia,
Am              Em
   You know I'm hurt,
          Am        Em            
It's been two whole months since 
      Am         Em      Am
he was laid in the dirt.

Am      Em        Am           Em
Dear Ophelia, I'm sorry that I lied,
  Am        Em      Am          
I really do mean to make you my 
Em
bride
Am         Em            Am     
We've been through this, I'll 
        Em
treat you well,
    Am        Em          Am     
I'm sorry I'm making your life a 
Em      Am
hell.

Am      Em         Am           
Dear Ophelia, your father thinks
     Em
 I'm mad,
   Am       Em       Am          
If truth be known, I think he'd 
      Em
be not glad,
      Am      Em
If my dear Ophelia,
Am            Em
   We were to wed,
    Am     Em     Am          Em
And I took you to our wedding 
    Am
bed.

Am      Em      Am              
Dear Ophelia, I know that he is 
Em
dead,
            Am           Em    Am
But what he told me last night 
              Em
lays on me like lead.
       Am             Em      
In the orchard he lay sleeping, 
         Am            Em
that's why he didn't hear,
    Am            Em             
His brother crept up, and poured 
Am            Em   Am
poison in his ear.
