The Keeper of the Key

The Keeper of the Key
by Wanda Jackson
 
C                 F                   C
You have gone and yet  I'm still your prisoner
D7                                       G7
Though you're with your new love I'm not free
C                     F              C
For you have placed a lock around my heart dear 
                G7            C
And you are the keeper of the key
 
F                            C
Love locked inside like mine just burns constantly 
   D7                          G7
Oh darling please come back to me
      C               F                 C
We'll lock our hearts together for a lifetime 
                    G7            C
And God will be the keeper of the key
 
             F                     C
Only you can break the chains that bind me 
D7                    G7
Only you can end my misery
C               F                  C
No one else can dry the tears that blind me 
                G7            C
For you are the keeper of the key
 
repeat #2
