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
