(Capo 1, original is in Eb) Website: columsands.com Intro: D D A A D D D G D G D I saw you by the river that goes flowing on forever A D A The blossoms from the apple tree were falling for your charms D G D G D I looked at you, you looked at me, but those of us could barely see A D A D But the river stood between us, and the slightest chance of harm D G D G D I was walking down the road that leads from August to September A D A When I saw you picking berries with their colours on your hand D G D G D Like the swallows on the rooftop you were making plans for winter A D A D When I came a little closer, like the swallows you were gone Chorus: D G D G D But do you know or don?t you, that I?ll be thinking of you A D A That I feel you?re right beside me, in the singing of the song D G D G D And we?ll sing it where the road goes round the corner to remember A D A D That the magic of the music?s in the note that lingers on D G D G D There was ice upon the river and the city seems to shiver A D A Til I saw you in the marketplace that keeps the winter warm D G D G D You were selling herbs and spices and a drink of human kindness A D A D And a candle for the window that the darkness might be gone Repeat chorus D G D G D When the ice begins to splinter and the spring is coaxing winter A D A And the taking of his racquet coat, our days are turning warm D G D G D With the seasons I?ll remember, that as June said to December A D A D Love and life is letting go, as much as holding on Repeat chorus
