THE WINDING STREAM
Verse:
G+G
Oh, give to me a winding stream
D MajorD
It must not be too wide
Where waving leaves from maple trees
D7D7 G+G
Do meet from either side.
The water must be deep enough
G7G7 C majorC
To float a small canoe,
D MajorD G+G
With no one else but you.
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
D7D7 G+G
And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7G7 C majorC
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.
G+G D MajorD G+G
My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
Verse:
G+G
The sparkling trout beneath the bank
D MajorD
Does leave his hiding place.
Kingfisher from the bough above
D7D7 G+G
So eager to give chase.
The spreading branches overhead,
G7G7 C majorC
The sunrise peeking through,
D MajorD G+G
When looking, dear, at you.
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
D7D7 G+G
And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7G7 C majorC
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.
G+G D MajorD G+G
My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
