Townes Van Zandt

A Far across deep blue waters, lives an D old German's daughter 
By the E banks of the E7 old river A Rhine 
Where I loved her and left her, but D I can't forget her 
E I miss my E7 pretty Frau-{A} lein. 

FrauIein, Fraulein, look D up toward the Heaven 
Each E night when the stars E7 start to A shine 
By the same stars above you, I D swear that I love you 
E You are my E7 pretty frau-{A} lein. 

When my memories wander, away over yonder 
To the sweetheart that I left behind 
In a moment of glory, a face comes before me 
The face of my pretty fraulein. 

Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river 
Pretend that your hand's holdin' mine 
By the same stars above you, I swear that I love you 
You are my pretty fraulein.
