I wandered by a brookside
F G C
I wandered by a mill
F C Dm7
I could not hear the water
G C
The murmuring was still
F C
But the sound of any grasshopper
F G
Or the song of any bird
C G/B Am G
For the beating of my own heart
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
C E7 Am Em
But the beating of my own heart
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
[Instrumental]
C Dm C G
[Verse]
C F C
I lay beneath the elm tree
F G C
To watch it's long, long shade
F C Dm7
And as it grew the longer
G C
I did not feel afraid
F C
I listened for a footfall
F G
I listened for a word
C G/B Am G
But the beating of my own heart
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
C E7 Am Em
The beating of my own heart
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
C F C
With silent tears fast flowing
F G C
Then someone stood behind
F C Dm7
A hand upon my shoulder
G C
I knew the touch was kind
F C
She drew me near and nearer
F G
We neither spoke one word
C G/B Am G
For the beating of our own two hearts
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
C E7 Am Em
But the beating of our own two hearts
F G F
Was the only sound I heard
