ONE BY ONE -- Woody Guthrie PRINT WITH FIXED SPACING
NOT PROPORTIONAL
G / / / Am / C
One by one the words come slowly as I write to you,
-3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 -6
/ D / D / G / /
One by one my teardrops fall upon the page.
-7 1 2 -7 -5 -7 -6 -5
/ G / / / Am / C
One by one my hopes are dark'ning in the twi- light,
-3 -4 -5 1 2 3 4 3 2 1 -7
/ D / / / G / / /
One by one, one by one they die a- way.
1 2 3 3 2 1 -5 -6 -7 1
D / / / G D Em /
One by one my hairs are tur- ning gray,
2 -7 -5 -6 -5 1 2 3
D / / / G / / /
One by one my dreams are fading fast a- way.
2 -7 -5 -6 -5 -5 1 3 2 1
D / / / G D Em /
One by one I read your let- ters o'er,
2 -7 -5 -6 -5 1 2 3
D / / / G / / /
One by one I lay them all a- way.
2 -7 -5 -6 1 3 2 1
One by one the flow'rs are fading in my garden,
One by one the leaves are falling from the trees.
One by one the days and nights are growing colder,
One by one the snowflakes tumble in the breeze.
