Banks Of The Guadalupe

	  		(C)Down by the banks of the Guada-(Dm)lupe 
On a summer's (G)evenin' halo'd (C)moon 
Wide eyed as night owls naked as a (Dm)dream 
We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream 

We slept like time itself under diamond (Dm)skies 
Far from the (G)bright lights and the city's (C)lies 
Our love arose like a mornin' (Dm)dream 
We were (G)washed in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream 

Oh, the mountain (G)dreams of a blanket of (C)snow 
And the wild wind (Dm)dreams of (G)directions it may (C)blow 
But the river's dream is a dream of (Dm)love 
And a dream of (G)deep reflections from (C)above 

Down by the banks of the river of (Dm)change 
We watched the (G)river runnin' from the wishes of the mountain (C)range 
And the stars and the wild wind played the season's (Dm)themes 
We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream 

Oh, the mountain (G)dreams of a blanket of (C)snow 
And the wild wind (Dm)dreams of (G)directions it may (C)blow 
But the river's dream is a dream of (Dm)love 
And a dream of (G)deep reflections from (C)above 

(C)Down by the banks of the Guada-(Dm)lupe 
On a summer's (G)evenin' halo'd (C)moon 
Wide eyed as night owls naked as a (Dm)dream 
We washed our (G)love in the ripplin' waters of a ramblin' (C)stream 

Guadalupe pronounced as Gwa-da-loop Refers to a river through the hill country  
north of San Antonio, Texas. Crosses the highway to Austin.  Nice easy folk/country  
ballad. 
Jimmie Dale Gilmore also recorded it. It's also on a live album called Two Roads  
by Butch and Jimmie recorded at the Brunswick Town Hall in Melbourne, Australia,  
where they sing a couple of verses each. Grouse man. 

I come from Melb, Aust, but I just love that Texican music. Afraid I don't like  
their beer though. But I brew my own, so I don't care for Aussie swill either. 
Gave up playing guitar soon after I first picked up a ukulele. Now I play  
everything I ever did on the guitar and more.
