I wandered by a brookside, I wandered by a mill
C F C D7 G
I couldn't hear the water, the murmuring, it was still
C F C F G
Nor the sound of any grasshopper, nor the chirp of any bird
C G Am Em F G F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard
[Verse]
C F C F G
I sat beneath the elm tree and watched his long, long shade
C F C D7 G
As it grew so longer, I didn't feel afraid
C F C F G
I listened for a footfall, I listened for one word
C G Am Em F G F
But the beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard
C G Am Em F G F
The beating of my own heart was the only sound I heard

Silent tears fast flowing, when someone stood behind
C F C D7 G
A hand upon my shoulder, I knew the touch was kind
C F C F G
She drew me nearer and nearer, we neither spoke one word
C G Am Em F G F
But the beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard
C G Am Em F G Am
The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard
C G Am Em F G F
The beating of our own two hearts, was the only sound I heard
[Outro]
