(D)I'll deck my brow with roses the (G)loved ones may be (D)there

(A)Though my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smiles to(D)night

(D)I'll be all smiles tonight, Love,I'll (G)be all smiles to(D)night
A)Though my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smiles to(D)night

verse 2:
Oh when the dance commences, Oh how I will rejoice
I'll sing the songs he taught me without a faulting voice
When the flattering ones come around me they'll think my heart is light
Though my heart may break tomorrow, I'll be all smile tonight

Chorus

Carter pick chorus

verse 3:
And when the room he entered with a bride upon his arm
I stood and gazed upon him as though he was a charm
And once he smiled upon her as once he'd smiled on me
They knew not what I suffered, they found no change in me

Chorus......end
