Аккорды Paul Dresser - On The Banks Of The Wabash

[Verse]
          C       E                  Am
'Round my Indiana homestead wave the cornfields,
       D7                                    G7
In the distance loom the woodlands clear and cool,
     C                 E                 Am
Oftentimes my tho'ts revert to scenes of childhood,
        C                 G7                 C
Where I first received my lessons - nature's school.
    C                  E              Am
But one thing there is missing in the picture,
D7                                G
Without her face it seems so incomplete,
  C              E             Am
I long to see my mother in the doorway,
       C                  G7             C
As she stood there years ago, her boy to greet.


[Chorus]
        C                  E               Am
Oh, the moonlight's fair tonight along the Wabash,
         D7                                        G7
From the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay,
            C             E                 Am
Through the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming,
       C            G7           C
On the banks of the Wabash, far away.
     C                       E                 Am
Many years have passed since I strolled by the river,
       D7                              G7
Arm in arm, with sweetheart Mary by my side,
       C                E               Am
It was there I tried to tell her that I loved her,
       C                 G7           C
It was there I begged of her to be my bride.
     C                       E                    Am
Long years have passed since I strolled thro' the churchyard.
      D7                             G7
She's sleeping there, my angel, Mary dear,
  C                  E                Am
I loved her, but she thought I didn't mean it,
          C              G7
Still I'd give my future were she only here.
