The Winding Stream

Written by A.P. Carter

	  		            G                                                                         D 
    Oh, give to me a winding stream, it must not be too wide, 
                                                                          D7                     G 
    where waving leaves from maple trees do meet from either side. 
                                                              G7                    C 
    The water must be deep enough to float a small canoe, 
            D                        G 
    with no one else but you. 

 G                                         D 
Do not disturb my waking dream, 
                          D7                  G 
the splendor of that winding stream. 
                                        G7                             C 
Flower in my canoe, her eyes they look me through, 
                               G                   D                     G 
a maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you. 

               G                                                                                   D 
    The sparkling trout beneath the bank does leave his hiding place, 
                                                              D7                        G 
    kingfisher from the bough above, so eager to give to chase. 
                                                                     G7                          C 
    The spreading branches over head, the sunlight peeping through, 
               D                        G 
    when looking, dear, at you. 

 G                                         D 
Do not disturb my waking dream, 
                          D7                  G 
the splendor of that winding stream. 
                                        G7                             C 
Flower in my canoe, her eyes they look me through, 
                               G                   D                     G 
a maiden fair with golden hair is very much like you.
