I'd Rather Be Alone

guitar chords lyrics

Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs

I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only
Than have you say you're sorry that we are apart
I'd rather be alone and have you dream of me only

Than to be in your arms but never in your heart
Well I've just received your letter
you asked me to come home
You say you're sorry that you went away
This is an old old story
and I've heard it all before
So darlin' this is all that I can say
I tried so hard my darlin' to make
you love me then
'Cause you would always leave me here alone
And although I could forgive
you things would be the same

'Cause you would always leave me here alone
And although I could forgive
you things would be the same
Nothing could ever change
your heart of stone
