 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"

<solo-- same strum pattern>

 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
