Verse:
E MajorE                B7B7
It was spring in Munich on the Rhine
                    E MajorE
I was lonesome for the love I''''ve left behind
                     A augmentedA
So I stole love happiness my heart could find

B7B7 E MajorE

E MajorE                   B7B7
She thought I was free right from the start
                      E MajorE
I said love words like an actor plays his part
                      A augmentedA
''''Till one day I knew I meant then from the heart
      B7B7               E MajorE
I''''d found fraulein love there on the River Rhine

E MajorE    A augmentedA           E MajorE
In the cold and lonely River Rhine...
 B7B7              E MajorE
Lies my little darling..my fraulein...
      A augmentedA               E MajorE
When she learned I had a wife, from the bank she took her life

E MajorE                B7B7
When at last I had to leave her side
                    E MajorE
It was hard for me to tell her how I''''d lied
                   A augmentedA
The morning papers told how she had died
     B7B7              E MajorE
Then, searching for her in the River Rhine

E MajorE    A augmentedA           E MajorE
In the cold and lonely River Rhine...

When she learned I had a wife, from the bank she took her life
  B7B7              E MajorE
I lost her to the lonely River Rhine
