Intro: A5  C5  G5  D5   x 2

 A5
Lost my watch, watch and chain,
 C5
But time's not lost
                    G5
This time we walk together
                       D5
Beside the slow black river


 A5
Water-walking over mud 
      C5
You whisper something      
                  G5
Something good in my ear, 
                    D5
so I stop so I can hear:

 A5
"Darling, I'm the one to blame
    C5
I threw your watch and chain 
            G5
To where I don't know
                       D5
Inside the tall grass meadow


 A5
You'll forget, forget in time
 C5
Remember this:
                   G5
Your hand in mine forever
                       D5
Beside the slow black river"





 A5
Lost my watch, watch and chain
    C5
To her today
                    G5
But time it has no meaning
                     D5
When her and me are walking


 A5
Darling, I'm the one to blame
   C5
I love you still
                  G5
And timeless now forever
                 D5
Together by the river
