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.
