E7            Aadd9/C#  
I was just a curly-haired 
           E7   Aadd9/C# 
mountain boy
      E7 F        E7  F
On my way passing thru 
          A7    Dm            A7   Dm
I heard a voice whisper good evening
               A7     Dm
I turned to a shadow
             E7
And saw her there
F       E7     Aadd9/C# 
So all alone


[Verse 2]
E7            Aadd9/C#   E7     Aadd9/C# 
She had those sad china eyes
      E7  F              E7    F
That sang each time she smiled
            A7    Dm           A7     Dm
Ah, but the song it seemed to linger
               A7   Dm          E7
So long it deepened my love for her
F                    E7    Aadd9/C# 
Until she called me near
             B              E7
And then we waltzed to our heart beat
     A7   Dm             A7    Dm
All around the sea was swaying
               A7
The breeze was praying
Dm        E7         F 
Never to leave her alone
E7
Alone


[Verse 3]
E7            Aadd9/C#       E7    Aadd9/C# 
Oh, the time just slipped on by
              E7  F           E7   F
And with the time so did our love
               A7 Dm             A7  Dm
Ah, her every move just like a fever
              A7
Just like a fever
Dm         E7   F         E7
Burnin' inside would not leave me
