Joan Baez – The River In The Pines (Guitar)

    Dm   A7    Dm
Oh, Mary was a maiden

         F              C
When the birds began to sing

Dm                       F
She was sweeter than the blooming rose

   C            Dm
So early in the spring

    Dm            A7      Dm
Her thoughts were gay and happy

        F               C
And the morning gay and fine

Dm                  F
For her lover was a river boy

         C            Dm
From the river in the pines

    Dm       A7     Dm
Now Charlie, he got married

       F           C
To his Mary in the spring

Dm                          F
When the trees were budding early

        C              Dm
And the birds began to sing

    Dm    A7     Dm
But early in the autumn

         F               C
When the fruit is in the wine

Dm                     F
I'll return to you, my darling

         C            Dm
From the river in the pines

       Dm    A7     Dm
It was early in the morning

      F               C
In Wisconsin's dreary clime

Dm                     F
When he rode the fatal rapids

         C              Dm
For that last and fatal time

     Dm        A7   Dm
They found his body lying

       F             C
On the rocky shore below

Dm                     F
Where the silent water ripples

        C                 Dm
And the whispering cedars blow

    Dm    A7      Dm
Now every raft of lumber

           F              C
That comes down the Chippewa

Dm                            F
There's a lonely grave that's visited

   C                Dm
By drivers on their way

     Dm         A7        Dm
They plant wild flowers upon it

       F                C
In the morning fair and fine

Dm                          F
'Tis the grave of two young lovers

         C            Dm
From the river in the pines
