[Intro] D A D [Chorus]
N.C.                  D
We parted by the riverside

    A                           D
The moon looked down on you and me

D
The stars put on a look of pride

    A                     D
The river murmured to the sea

    G                            D
The dewdrops kissed the blushing rose

                       A
The mournful winds did sigh

    D
One word of nature's sweet repose

     A                  D
That sad word was – goodbye
[Instrumental] D A D D A D [Verse 1]
    D
Oh, tell me that you love me yet

    A                          D
For all this parting brings me pain

       D
Please tell me that you'll not forget

    A                  D
For we may never meet again

    G                    D
For I am grateful to you still

                   A
As long as you are true

    D
Let fate bring to me what it will

      A              D
For I love you, only you
[Instrumental] D A D D A D [Chorus]
                      D
We parted by the riverside

    A                           D
The moon looked down on you and me

    D
The stars put on a look of pride

    A                     D
The river murmured to the sea

    G                            D
The dewdrops kissed the blushing rose

                       A
The mournful winds did sigh

    D
One word of nature's sweet repose

     A                  D
That sad word was – goodbye
