A D
I wondered today on the sea shore
A E
The waves and the winds are low
A D
I thought of the days that are gone by Maud
E A
Many long years ago
[Verse 2]
A D
We lingered by the gently flowing billows
A E
And watch the golden sunset fade away
A D
And there among the sweet ocean breezes
E A
We talked about our future wedding day
[Chorus]
A
Gathering up the shells from the sea shore
D A
Gathering up the shells from the sea
D
Those were the happiest days of all Maud
E A
Gathering up the shells from the shore
[Verse 3]
A D
When the waves are rolling on the ocean
A E
And the golden moonbeams on the pebbles shine
A D
At your cottage by the sea I'll come again Maud
E A
When the waves are rolling gently sweetheart mine
[Verse 4]
A D
Now I am growing up in years Maud
A E
My locks are all silver and gray
A D
But the vows that we made on the shore Maud
E A
Are fresh in my memory today
[Chorus]
A
Gathering up the shells from the sea shore
D A
Gathering up the shells from the sea
D
Those were the happiest days of all Maud
E A
Gathering up the shells from the shore
[Verse 5]
A D
No more bright shells we will gather
A E
As the waves come dashing as of yore
A D
She lies neith the white pebbled sand
E A
Just covered up with shells on the shore
[Chorus]
A
Gathering up the shells from the sea shore
D A
Gathering up the shells from the sea
D
Those were the happiest days of all Maud
E A
Gathering up the shells from the shore
