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
