1. Far across deep blue waters, lives an old German's daughter,

                 A                 A7            D  

    by the banks of the old river Rhine.

A                    A7            D

    I miss my pretty Fraulein.

                                             G

    Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river,

          A                      A7                  D

    pretend that your hand's holdin' mine.

                                                           G

    By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you,

                                           G

    FrauIein, Fraulein, look up toward the Heavens,

    By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you,

A                       A7           D

    you are my pretty Fraulein.
