D
I sit here alone on the banks of the river

D                 G                     D
The lonesome wind blows the water rolls high

D              G                         D
I hear a voice calling out there in the darkness

D          A                     D
I sit here alone too lonesome to cry     
[Chorus]
D
Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

D                               
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry

D                            
The woman I love she left me this morning

D              A               D
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
[Instrumental] D D A D [Verse 2]
G                D
We met there one night by the banks of the river

D                 G                    D
Sat there holding hands and making our vows

D                G                 D
Swore we'd never part and be happy forever

D                    A                        D
But a new love she's found she's gone to me now
[Chorus]
D
Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

D                               
I sit on the shore to grieve and to cry

D                             
The woman I love she left me this morning

D              A               D
With no one to love or kiss me goodnight
