Lonesome River Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

AI sit here alone on the banks of the river

 The lonseome wind Dblows and the water runs Ahigh

 I can hear a voice cDall [from] out there in the dAarkness

 But I sit here Ealone too lonesome to cAry

Chorus

AOh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore to grievin' and to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

 With no-one to Elove or kiss me goodnightA

We met there one night on the banks of the river

sat there holdin' hands and makin' a vow

That we never would part and be happy together

But a new love she's found - she's gone with him now.

Oh the water rolls high on the river at midnight

I sit on the shore to grievin' and to cry

The woman I love she left me this morning

With no-one to love or kiss me goodnight
