WHERE THE MURRAY MEETS THE DARLING Tanya Kernigan
Intro: A |D |E |A
|A | |E
|A
Where the Murray meets the Darling lies a sleepy border town
|A | |E |A
The grapevines were in season laden to the ground
|F#m C#m |
On the gate a rusty sign pickers apply within
|D |A |E |A
>From the cool of her verandah she watched him wander in
|A | |E |A
All through the harvest season in the long hot afternoons
|A | |E |A |A
They gathered grapes together their love begun to bloom
|F#m |C#m
And somehow he had touched her and like the clinging of the vines
|D |A |E |A
Their lives became entangled their hearts became entwined
CHORUS
|D | |A
|
Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown
|D | |A |E
In a secret valley he laid a blanket down
|D | |A |F#m
It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day
|A |
|A
Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away
Turnaround A |D |E |A
|A | |E

When the harvest time was over and the leaves began to fall
|A | |E
|A
They planned to travel northward it was time for moving on
|F#m |C#m
But as the leaves were falling one night he slipped away
|D |A |E |A
Her love had been foresaken the vines lay stark and grey
CHORUS
|D | |A
|
Where the Murray meets the Darling by the water slow and brown
|D | |A |E
In a secret valley he laid a blanket down
|D | |A |F#m
It was there beside the river he pledged his love that day
|A |E |A
Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart away
|A | |E
|A |D |E |A
Where the Murray meets the Darling she gave her heart | away.
