D                             G                 D                                        A
Far away in sunny mountains, where the merry sunbeams play,
D                                      G        A                             D
there I wandered thru the clover, singing to a village maid.
A                                      D                                            A
She was dearer than the dearest, ever loving kind and true,
D                                        G         A                                 D
and she wore beneath her bonnet amber tresses tied in blue.

D                                     G         D                                      A
Fate decreed that we be parted, ere the leaves of autumn fell,
D                                       G       A                                       D
then two hearts were separated that had loved each other well.
A                                D                                            A
She was all I had to cherish, every loving kind and true,
D                           G        A                                D
now I see in every vision amber tresses tied in blue.

She was dearer than the dearest, ever loving kind and true,
D                                        G         A                                 D
