Artist - Dolly Parton Song - Down From Dover G/B - x2000x D I know this dress I'm wearing C G D C G/B C Doesn't hide the secret I have tried concealing D C When he left he promised me that he'd be back G D C G/B C By the time it was revealing G The sun behind a cloud just casts the crawling shadow D C GCB O'er the fields of clover D And time is running out for me C G D C C/B I wish that he would hurry down from Dover D C He's been gone so long when he left G D C GCB The snow was deep upon the ground D C And I have seen a spring and summer pass G D C C/B And now the leaves are turning brown G And any time a tiny face will show itself D C C/B Cause waiting's almost over D But I won't have a name to give it C G D C C/B If he doesn't hurry down from Dover D C My folks weren't understanding when they found out G D C G/B C They sent me from the home place D My daddy said if folks found out C G D C C/B He'd be ashamed to ever show his face G My momma said I was a fool D C G/BC And she did not believe it when I told her D Momma everythings gonna be alright C G D C C/B Soon he would be coming down from Dover D C I found a place to stay out on a farm G D CC/B Takin care of an old lady D She never asked me nothin C G D CC/B So I never talked to her about my baby G I send a message to my mom D C C/B With a name an address of Mrs. Elma Grover D C And to make sure he got that information G D C C/B When he came down from Dover (capo 1) D I loved him more than anything C G D C G/B C And I could not refuse him when he needed me D He was the only one I'd loved C G D C G/BC And I just can't believe that he was using me G He couldn't leave me here like this D C C/B I know it can't be so it can't be over D C He wouldn't make me go through this alone G D C C/B He'll be coming down from Dover D My body aches the time is here C G D C C/B It's lonely in this place where I'm lyin' D C Our baby has been born but something's wrong G D C GCB It's much too still I hear no cryin' G I guess in some strange way she knew D C G/BC She'd never have a father's arms to hold her D C And dying was her way of telling me G D C C/B He wasn't coming down from Dover
