I (G)look (C)once (F)more (C)just a round the riv er bend be (G)yond (C)the (F)shore, (C)where the gulls fly free.

Don’t (Am)know what for, (D9sus)what I dream the (D9)day might send (F)just a round the riv er bend

for (A)me,

I (C)feel it there be yond those trees or (F)right be hind these (Gsus)wa ter falls.
