[D] [A]
[D]
I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The [G] lonesome wind blows, the water [D] rolls
I hear a [G] voice calling out there [D] in the dark
I sit here [A]
alone, too lonesome [D] to cry
The water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore, too grieved and too sad
The woman I love, she left me this morning
With no [Am] one to [A] love or [D] kiss me goodnight
[A]
[D]
We met there one night on the banks of the river
Stood there [G] holding hands and making [D] our vow
That we'd never [G] part and be happy [D] forever
But a new [A] love she's found, she's gone from [D] me now
The water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore, too grieved and [Dm] too sad
[D] The woman I love, she left me this morning
With no one [Am] to love [A] or kiss [D] me goodnight
[D]
I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The [G] lonesome wind blows, the water [D] rolls
I hear a [G] voice calling out there [D] in the dark
I sit here [A]
alone, too lonesome [D] to cry
The water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore, too grieved and too sad
The woman I love, she left me this morning
With no [Am] one to [A] love or [D] kiss me goodnight
[A]
[D]
We met there one night on the banks of the river
Stood there [G] holding hands and making [D] our vow
That we'd never [G] part and be happy [D] forever
But a new [A] love she's found, she's gone from [D] me now
The water rolls high on the river at midnight
I sit on the shore, too grieved and [Dm] too sad
[D] The woman I love, she left me this morning
With no one [Am] to love [A] or kiss [D] me goodnight
