***Repeat the above pattern over the lyrics, below...***


My name it means nothing
My fortune is less
My future is shrouded in dark wilderness
Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on
Everything I possessed-now they are gone

***Then play this ***

***And continue chord pattern from above over below verse 2, 
   below***

O where can I go to and what can I do?
Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you
You just laughed when I begged you to stay
I've not stopped crying since you went away

***Then play this, the interlude***
