Verse:
E                               B7
It was spring in Munich on the Rhine
                                        E
I was lonesome for the love I''''ve left behind
                                          A
So I stole love happiness my heart could find

B7 E

E                                      B7
She thought I was free right from the start
                                           E
I said love words like an actor plays his part
                                            A
''''Till one day I knew I meant then from the heart
            B7                              E
I''''d found fraulein love there on the River Rhine

E       A                      E
In the cold and lonely River Rhine...
 B7                           E
Lies my little darling..my fraulein...
           A                             E
When she learned I had a wife, from the bank she took her life
   B7                            E
I lost her to the lonely River Rhine

Instrumental:
E A B7 E

E                                B7
When at last I had to leave her side
                                        E
It was hard for me to tell her how I''''d lied
                                     A
The morning papers told how she had died
         B7                            E
Then, searching for her in the River Rhine

E       A                      E
In the cold and lonely River Rhine...
 B7                          E
Lies my little darling..my fraulein...
           A                             E
When she learned I had a wife, from the bank she took her life
   B7                            E
I lost her to the lonely River Rhine
