The Winding Stream

         G                                               D
    Oh, give to me a winding stream, it must not be too wide,
                                             D7               G
    where waving leaves from maple trees do meet from either side.
                                      G7              C
    The water must be deep enough to float a small canoe,
         D                G
    with no one else but you.

 G                         D
Do not disturb my waking dream,
                 D7             G
the splendor of that winding stream.

Flower in my canoe, her eyes they look me through,
                    G              D             G
a maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.

          G                                                      D
    The sparkling trout beneath the bank does leave his hiding place,
                                        D7                G
    kingfisher from the bough above, so eager to give to chase.
                                           G7                 C
    The spreading branches over head, the sunlight peeping through,
          D                 G
    when looking, dear, at you.

 G                         D
Do not disturb my waking dream,
                 D7             G
the splendor of that winding stream.
                        G7                   C
Flower in my canoe, her eyes they look me through,
                    G              D             G
a maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
