I wandered by a brookside, I wandered by a mill

C          F        C          D7                G
I couldn't hear the water, the murmuring, it was still

   C             F   C                             F   G
Nor the sound of any grasshopper, nor the chirp of any bird

        C       G     Am  Em            F    G       F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard
[Verse]
  C     F         C                        F          G
I sat beneath the elm tree and watched his long, long shade

C     F      C        D7             G
As it grew so longer, I didn't feel afraid

  C        F     C                    F       G
I listened for a footfall, I listened for one word

        C       G     Am  Em            F    G       F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

    C       G     Am  Em            F    G       F
The beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

       F          C                     F       G
Silent tears fast flowing, when someone stood behind

  C     F     C            D7                 G
A hand upon my shoulder, I knew the touch was kind

    C       F          C                  F         G
She drew me nearer and nearer, we neither spoke one word

        C       G      Am      Em              F    G       F
But the beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard

    C       G      Am      Em              F    G       Am
The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard

    C       G      Am      Em              F    G       F
The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard
[Outro]
