Where The Murray Meets The Darling

[Intro: ]A D E A A E A Where the Murray meets the Darling lies a sleepy border town A E A The grapevines were in season laden to the ground F#m C#m On the gate a rusty sign pickers apply within D A E A >From the cool of her verandah she watched him wander in A E A All through the harvest season in the long hot afternoons A E A A They gathered grapes together their love begun to bloom F#m C#m And somehow he had touched her and like the clinging of the vines D A E A Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined CHORUS D A Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown D A E In a secret valley he laid a blanket down D A F#m It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day A A Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away Turnaround A D E A A E A When the harvest time was over and the leaves began to fall A E A They planned to travel northward it was time for moving on F#m C#m But as the leaves were falling one night he slipped away D A E A Her love had been foresaken the vines lay stark and grey CHORUS D A Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown D A E In a secret valley he laid a blanket down D A F#m It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day A E A Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away A E A D E A Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away.
