Lonely River Rhine (2) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]It was spring
in Munich on the [A]Rhine
I was lonesome for the
love I'd left [D]be hind
So I stole what happiness
my heart could [G]find
From a [A]German girl there on the river [D]Rhine
She thought I was free right from the [A]start
I said love words like an actor plays his [D]part
Till one day I knew amid
them from the [G]heart
I'd found [A]foreign love
there on the river [D]ride
In the [G]cold and the lonely river [D]ride
[A]Lies, my little darling, my [D]fro line
When she [G]learned I had a wife
From the [D]bank she took her life
I [A]lost her to the lonely river
[D]ride[G][A]
[D]
When at last I had to leave her [A]side,
It was hard for me to tell her how I'd [D]lied.
The morning papers told
how she had [G]died
They were [A]searching for
her in the river [D]Rhine
In the [G]cold and lonely river [D]Rhine
[A]Lies my little darling, my [D]Fraulein
When she [G]learned I had a wife
From the [D]bank she took her life
I [A]lost her to the lonely river [D]ride
