[Intro]

D G A A7 D

[Verse 1]

Far across deep blue waters,

Lives an old German's daughter,

By the banks of the old river Rhine.

Where I loved her and left her,

But I can't forget her,

A A7 D

I miss my pretty Fraulein.

[Chorus]

Fraulein, Fraulein,

Look up toward the Heaven,

Each night when the stars start to shine.

By the same stars above you,

I swear that I love you,

You are my pretty Fraulein.

[Verse 2]

When my memories wander, away over yonder,

To the sweetheart that I left behind,

In a moment of glory, a face comes before me,

A A7 D

The face of my pretty Fraulein.

[Verse 3]

D G

Fraulein, Fraulein, walk down by the river,
