Where the Murray meets the Darling lies a sleepy border town 
    A                      E           A
The grapevines were in season laden to the ground 
        F#m           C#m
On the gate a rusty sign pickers apply within 
         D             A       E                A
>From the cool of her verandah she watched him wander in 
     A                             E             A
All through the harvest season in the long hot afternoons 
     A                          E            A   A
They gathered grapes together their love begun to bloom 
         F#m                                                    C#m 

And somehow he had touched her and like the clinging of the vines 
       D             A         E                A
Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined 
 
  CHORUS 
                   D                                            A 

 Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown 
 D                   A            E
In a secret valley he laid a blanket down 
        D                      A                    F#m
It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day 
                   A

Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away

When the harvest time was over and the leaves began to fall 
           A                                               E

They planned to travel northward it was time for moving on 
     F#m                        C#m
But as the leaves were falling one night he slipped away 
     D               A        E                A
Her love had been foresaken the vines lay stark and grey 
 
CHORUS
