Verse 
D                                   Bm                      G 
In a dance hall by the river, I was singing in a travelling band 
             D                               A 
Just another small town night, with a silver moon shining 
D                                     Bm                 G 
I remember when I saw you, that first moment when it all began 
                    D            A                   D    G A 
You looked across a crowded room, and stole my heart away. 
D                                         Bm                  G 
And we stood out in the moonlight, in the shadow of a factory wall 
              D                          A 
Music playing soft and low, and a gentle breeze sighing 
        D                                   Bm                 G 
And the light on the river was magic, yes a magic that I still recall 
             D             A                         D      G D      
Moments come and moments go, but these moments still remain. 


 
F#m    A        D    F#m    A         D 
Remember how we met, down by the waterside 
F#m A           D     G            D 
How easily we forget, all the love that we knew.

Verse 
D                                           Bm                      G 
So we married our fortunes together, and we sealed it with a golden band 
                   D                                A                            
But somewhere down along the road, we could see the flame dying 
D                                        Bm                     G 
Now an exiled heart gets weary, like two strangers in a foreign land 
                     D            A                 D   G D      
We reached the point of no return, a long long time ago. 


 
F#m    A        D    F#m    A         D 
Remember how we met, down by the waterside 
F#m A           D     G            D 
How easily we forget, all the love we knew.
