[Verse 1]
A
I hear drumbeats on the watchtower
        G               A
My long journey's at an end
Autumn leaves blow on the border
       G               A     A
I hear wild geese cry again

[Verse 2]
A
Oh where oh where is my darling
           G            A
Four winds blow far and wide
No one I see will ever tell me
       G                 A      A
If she lives or if she's died

[Verse 3]
A
The dew is falling cold at midnight
     G                    A
Underneath the bone-white moon
Shining brightly on my cabin
        G              A      A
Where tonight I sleep alone

[Verse 4]
A
I wrote a letter to my darling
    G           A
I received no reply
In the Black Hills I hear rumours
      G                  A       A
In my dreams I hear her crying

I hear wild geese cry again
       G               A      A
I hear wild geese cry again
