Gm
In Germany before the war
A/C#
There was a man who owned a store
Cm Gm
In nineteen hundred thirty-four in Dusseldorf
Gm
And every night at five-o-nine
A/C#
He'd cross the park down to the rhine
Cm Gm
And he'd sit there by the shore
Chorus:
Gm Cm
I'm looking at the river but I'm thinking of the sea
D D#
Thinking of the sea, Thinking of the sea
Gm Cm D D#
I'm looking at the river but I'm thinking of the sea
A little girl has lost her way
With hair of gold and eyes of gray
Reflected in his glasses As he watches her
A little girl has lost her way
With hair of gold and eyes of gray
Chorus
We lie beneath the autumn sky
My little golden girl and I
And she lies very still
