G
Oh, give to me a winding stream
D
It must not be too wide
Where waving leaves from maple trees
D7 G
Do meet from either side.
The water must be deep enough
G7 C
To float a small canoe,
D G
With no one else but you.
[Chorus]
G D
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
D7 G
And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7 C
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.
G D G
My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
[Verse]
G
The sparkling trout beneath the bank
D
Does leave his hiding place.
Kingfisher from the bough above
D7 G
So eager to give chase.
The spreading branches overhead,
G7 C
The sunrise peeking through,
D G
When looking, dear, at you.
[Chorus]
G D
Oh do not disturb my waking dream
D7 G
And the splendor of my winding stream,
G7 C
Flower in my canoe her eyes they looked me through.
G D G
My maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
