CCruising down the river on a D7Sunday afternoon
With G7one you love the sun above Cwaiting for the G7moon
The Cold accordion playing a D7sentimental tune
CCruising Amdown the river A7on a D7Sunday G7afterCnoon
The birds above all sing of love a gentle sweet Frefrain
The D7winds around all make a sound like softly falling G7rain
Just Ctwo of us together we'll D7plan our honeymoon
CCruising Amdown the river A7on a D7Sunday G7afterCnoon
Cruising down the river with a D7sentimental tune

The D7winds around all make a sound like softly falling G7rain
Just Ctwo of us together we'll D7plan our honeymoon
CCruising Amdown the river A7on a D7Sunday G7afterCnoon
