I wandered by a brookside, I wandered by a mill
C          F        C          D7                G
I couldn't hear the water, the murmuring, it was still
   C             F   C                             F   G
Nor the sound of any grasshopper, nor the chirp of any bird
        C       G     Am  Em            F    G       F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

I sat beneath the elm tree and watched his long, long shade
C     F      C        D7             G
As it grew so longer, I didn't feel afraid
  C        F     C                    F       G
I listened for a footfall, I listened for one word
        C       G     Am  Em            F    G       F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

The beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

Silent tears fast flowing, when someone stood behind
  C     F     C            D7                 G
A hand upon my shoulder, I knew the touch was kind
    C       F          C                  F         G
She drew me nearer and nearer, we neither spoke one word
        C       G      Am      Em              F    G       F
But the beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard

The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard
