Intro: Am  C  G  D   x 2

 Am
Lost my watch, watch and chain,
 C
But time's not lost
                    G
This time we walk together
                       D
Beside the slow black river


 Am
Water-walking over mud 
      C
You whisper something   
                  G
Something good in my ear, 
                    D
so I stop so I can hear:

 Am
"Darling, I'm the one to blame
    C
I threw your watch and chain 
            G
To where I don't know
                       D
Inside the tall grass meadow


 Am
You'll forget, forget in time
 C
Remember this:
                   G
Your hand in mine forever
                       D
Beside the slow black river"





 Am
Lost my watch, watch and chain
    C
To her today
                    G
But time it has no meaning
                     D
When her and me are walking


 Am
Darling, I'm the one to blame
   C
I love you still
                  G
And timeless now forever
                 D
Together by the river
