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?
