Since I first saw him, I think myself blind
     Gm                                                                                      D  
I look around me and it's only him I see
Bb                                                         F                                             Gm  
His image floats before me so gentle and so kind
        Gm                                                                      D  
He has got a clear mind and firm courage
          Gm                            D                 F                                 C  
Oh, ring upon my finger, little golden ring
     Cm                                                      Gm                                      D  
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart
Gm                                 D                 F                                    C  
Sisters come adorn me, banish foolish fear
     Cm                                                      Gm                                      D  
Twine upon my furrowed brow the blossoming myrtle
        Bb                            F                                                                Gm  
I serve him and live for him belong wholly to him
     Gm                                                                                      D  
Give myself and find myself, transfigured by his brightness
Gm                            D                 F                                 C  
Ring upon my finger, little golden ring
     Cm                                                         D                                      Gm  
Devoutly I press you to my lips and to my heart

The blissful dream of childhood has ended
     Cm                            D                                                              Gm  
Now I drink delicious death with you my love
  Gm                                                                             Bb         Gm  
Now you have me caused me my first pain,            that really hurt
Cm                                                      D                                                            Gm  
        You sleep, you hard cruel man, the sleep of death
Gm                                                                                          Bb                                         D  
     The veil falls, the bell tolls, the black shawls, the carriage rolls
                                     Gm6  
You, my whole world
