D                 G           D                       A
Far away in sunny mountains, where the merry sunbeams play,
D                        G       A                    D
there I wandered thru the clover, singing to a village maid.
A                       D                             A
She was dearer than the dearest, ever loving kind and true,
D                        G      A                     D
and she wore beneath her bonnet amber tresses tied in blue.

D                       G      D                        A
Fate decreed that we be parted, ere the leaves of autumn fell,
D                        G     A                        D
then two hearts were separated that had loved each other well.
A                     D                             A
She was all I had to cherish, every loving kind and true,
D                  G      A                     D
now I see in every vision amber tresses tied in blue.

A                       D                             A
She was dearer than the dearest, ever loving kind and true,
D                        G      A                     D
and she wore beneath her bonnet amber tresses tied in blue.
