Key: G major•
Verse 1
I'd like to tell a little story
about this song
because it saved my miserable life
D
G
on several occasions while I was in,
excuse the expression, Texas, where I was the prisoner
of a bizarre religious cult.
Actually I was a student
but she had to be able to play this
song in Texas in 1960 or 61
it didn't matter what kind of
gig it was if it was a polka gig
you still had to play this song
so it kind of it's occupied a warm spot in
D
G

D
G
my heart ever since
D
G
D
G
Far across the blue water
D

On the banks of the old river Rhine

That's where I loved her and left her
D
G
D
She was my pretty Fraulein
C

walk down by the river at night
D

by the same stars above you

Walk down by the river at night

You are my pretty Fraulein

Crawl on, crawl on, walk down by me

I said you are my pretty bride
It makes me feel like I was in Waco,

Thank y 'all.
Y 'all have been real patient.

At least most of the keys

are working tonight.
