Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
It was spring
A 
in Munich on the Rhine
I was lonesome for the
D 
love I'd left behind
So I stole what happiness
G 
my heart could find
A 
D 
From a German girl there on the river Rhine
A 
She thought I was free right from the start
D 
I said love words like an actor plays his part
Till one day I knew amid
G 
them from the heart
A 
I'd found foreign love
D 
there on the river ride
G 
D 
In the cold and the lonely river ride
A 
D 
Lies, my little darling, my fro line
G 
When she learned I had a wife
D 
From the bank she took her life
A 
I lost her to the lonely river
D 
G 
A 
ride
D 
A 
When at last I had to leave her side,
D 
It was hard for me to tell her how I'd lied.
The morning papers told
G 
how she had died
A 
They were searching for
D 
her in the river Rhine
G 
D 
In the cold and lonely river Rhine
A 
D 
Lies my little darling, my Fraulein
G 
When she learned I had a wife
D 
From the bank she took her life
A 
D 
I lost her to the lonely river ride
