Chords

[Intro] G D G G C G D G [Verse 1]
G
Oh give to me a winding stream

                   D7
It must not be too wide

D7
Where waving leaves from maple trees

                    G
Do meet from either side

G
The water must be deep enough

                   C
To float a small canoe

     D7              G
With no one else but you
[Chorus]
G                        D7
Do not disturb my waking dream

D7
The splendor of

             G
That winding stream

G
Flower in my canoe

                        C
Her eyes they looked me through

C
A maiden fair with golden hair

   D7             G
Is very much like you
[Instrumental] G D G G C G D G [Verse 2]
G
The sparkling trout beneath the bank

                      D7
Does leave his hiding place

D7
King fisher from the bow above

                 G
So eager to give chase

G
The spreading branches

                             C
Overhead the sunrise peeking through

     D7              G
When looking dear at you
[Outro]
G                        D7
Do not disturb my waking dream

D7
The splendor of

             G
That winding stream

G
Flower in my canoe

                        C
Her eyes they looked me through

C
A maiden fair with golden hair

   D7             G
Is very much like you
