Kingston Trio - The Seine

the seine – kingston trio rick in macon

C Am F G7
one night along the river at st . germain de pre ,
C Am F G7
i first met my beloved at a small sidewalk cafe .
C Am F G7
we walked along the river , the shadows passing by
C Am F G7 C
but we only saw each other , the shining water and the sky .
Am F G7
ooh ooh , ooh ooh ooh

[ chorus : ]
C Am F G7
the seine , the seine , when will i again
C Am F G7
meet her there , greet her there
C G7 C G7
on the moonlit banks of the seine?

C Am F G7
standing there across the river , mid sound of horn and tram ,
C Am F G7
in all her quiet beauty , the cathedral notre dame ,
C Am F G7
and as we passed beside her , i said a little prayer
C Am F G7 C
that when this dream was over , i’d awake and find you there .
Am F G7
ooh ooh , ooh ooh ooh

[ chorus ]

C Am F G7
we walked along the river , ’till dawn was coming nigh .
C Am F G7
beneath the eiffel tower we said our last good – bye .
C Am F G7
there on that splendid morning , i left you all in tears
C Am F G7 C
and the beauty of that hour will shine within my through the years
Am F G7
ooh ooh , ooh ooh ooh

[ chorus ]
C Am F G7
the seine , the seine , when will i again
C G7 C ( or , just maybe , A Cm7 )
( slowly ) meet her there on the seine?
