Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  sit here alone on the banks of the river
 The lonseome wind blows  and the water runs high
 I can hear a voice call  out there in the darkness
 But I sit here alone  too lonesome to cry
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
 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

[A]I sit here alone on the banks of the river
The lonseome wind [D]blows and the water runs [A]high
I can hear a voice c[D]all [from] out there in the d[A]arkness
But I sit here [E]alone too lonesome to c[A]ry

[A]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 [E]love or kiss me goodnight[A]

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
