The Winding River Roe Chords by Cara Dillon

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Some _ _ _ _ poet [A] sing _ of a noble _ king _ Or of a sweetheart _ fair
_ _ Some tell a _ tale of ships that sail _ _ With _ treasures rich and rare
_ _ _ But my humble pair _ still drifts again
_ To _ scenes of long _ _ ago
_ Across _ the sea
To the _ _ _ Benedict
And the _ winding river O _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ [D]'er
[E] _ _ _ _
[A] And the times I had
Were just a lie
_ _ On Cairns lovely brace
_ _ And when my _ mind is thus inclined
_ _ No [F#m] _ other joys I [A] know
_ _ For my heart remains
On a _ verdant place
_ Near the winding river O'er _ _
_ _ Ben Brad is crying
Or Don _ _ Galantine _
Is [G] still within [A] my view _
_ And the Benedict land I worship there
[Em] _ _ Still [A] _ lives in memory too _ _
The beautiful _ scene _ of casual greed
[G] _ _ Still [D]
haunts wherever [A] I go _ _
And in [Em] all my [A] dreams
I see at sea
_ The _ winding river O'er _ _
_ _ _ _ If _ fortune smiles on me wise
[A] _ _ I would cross the sea again
_ _ _ _ And all these years
_ Of toil and tears
_ _ Would be _ forgotten then
_ _ _ And when at last _ my life has passed _ _ _ _ _
[E] Contentedly I'll go _ _
_ _ Across the sea
To the Benedict _ _ _
And the winding river O'er _ _ _ _ _ _ _
