[Verse]
Em B7
Oh, Mary was a maiden
Em B7
When the birds began to sing
Em B7
She was fairer than the blooming rose
Em B7
Early in the spring
C B7
Her thoughts were gay and happy
Em D C
And the morning rare and fine
C B7
For her lover was a river boy
C D Em
From the river in the pines
[Bridge]

[Verse]
Em B7
Charlie, he got married
Em B7
To his Mary in the spring
Em B7
When the trees were budding early
Em B7
And the birds began to sing
C B7
But early in the autumn
Em D C
When the fruit is in the wine
C B7
I'll return to you, my darling
C D Em
From the river in the pines
[Bridge]

[Verse]
Em B7
It was early in the morning
Em B7
In Wisconsin's dreary clime
Em B7
When he ruled the lonely rapid
Em B7
For that last and fateful time
C B7
They found his body lying
Em D C
On the rocky shores below
C B7
Where the silent water ripples
C D Em
And the whispering cedars blow
[Bridge]

[Verse]
Em B7
Now every raft of lumber
Em B7
That comes down, the chip away
Em B7
There's a lonely grave that's visited
Em B7
By drivers on their way
C B7
They plant wild flowers on it
Em D C
In the morning fair and fine
C B7
'Tis the grave of two young lovers
C D Em
From the river in the pines
C B7
Well they plant wild flowers on it
Em D C
In the morning fair and fine
C B7
It's the grave of two young lovers
C D Em
From the river in the pines
B7 Em B7 Em
.... In the Pines
B7 Em B7 Em
.... In the Pines...
