Recorded by Townes van Zandt

D5   A5   D5

 D5                                     G5
Far across the deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter
        D5                      A5
On the banks of the old river Rhine
         D5                          G5
There I loved her and left her, and I can't forget her
D5               A5         D5
Oh she was my pretty Frau-lein.

   D5                       G5
FrauIein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
   A5                      A5       D5
Tonight when those stars start to shine
                                         G5
By those same stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you
    A5          A5          D5
Oh you are my pretty frau-lein.

Instrumental

When my memories wander, away over yonder
To the one that I left behind
In a moment of glory, a face comes before me
The face of my pretty fraulein.

Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river
Tonight when the stars start to shine
By thosesame stars above you, but I'll swear that I love you
Oh you are my pretty fraulein.
