G                           C
All of my life I've been so happy
D                            G
While I have had you by my side
     G       G7                 C     Am7
And now you say you're gonna leave me
       D7                      G
For to become someone else's bride


[Chorus]
        D                         G
Oh the river of love it has gone muddy
          A7                           D      D7
And the flowers they are dying on the shore
         C                             G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
         D                         G
And the nightingales will sing no more


[Verse 2]
  G         G7             C
What can I do to hide my sorrow?
  D                        G    D
What can I do to ease my pain?
     G          G7                   C        Am7
And how can I keep these tears from fallin'?
      D7                              G
Oh darlin' won't you come back home again?


[Chorus]
        D                         G
Oh the river of love it has gone muddy
          A7                           D      D7
And the flowers they are dying on the shore
         C                             G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
         D                         G
And the nightingales will sing no more


[Verse 3]
 G         G7             C
Tomorrow I will take you to the station
      D                              G    D
And see that you're safely on that train
     G          G7                   C        Am7
And when that Two-Nineteen has departed
       D7                         G
I'll never ever see your smile again


[Chorus]
        D                         G
Oh the river of love it has gone muddy
          A7                           D      D7
And the flowers they are dying on the shore
         C                             G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
         D                         G
And the nightingales will sing no more
         C                             G
And the blue skies have all turned to darkness
         D                         G     C    G
And the nightingales will sing no more
