[Verse 1]
C7               F7
Across the river a good woman cried
C7           F7
 All because a foolish man lied.
C7                               F7
She gave up everything, tried to keep him satisfied
        G7
But the man told so many lies, there's another man over there
     F7                                   Gm7       C7      F7      Ab7  G7
That woman across the river, sweet woman across the river - she was mine

[Verse 2]
C7              F7
Word got around he had jilted her
C7               F7
Men came running from near and far
          C7                                 F7
Should've never been so foolish - guess I'll never, never know
        G7
But the man that's got her now, he's a lucky so-and-so
     F7                                   G7          C7    F7       G7
That woman across the river, sweet woman across the river - she was mine.

[Verse 3]
    C7                    F7
I remember the other day, about a week ago
            C7                                            G7
She said "I don't even want to talk to you 'cause I don't love you anymore."
     F7                                   G7          C7    F7          G7
That woman across the river, sweet woman across the river - she was mine.

Across the river a good woman cried
C7          F7
All because a foolish man lied
C7                                F7
She gave up everything, tryin' to keep him satisfied
        G7
But the man told so many lies, there's another man over there
     F7
That woman across the river,
     C7
That woman across the river,
     F7                                   G7        C7      F7       G7
That woman across the river, sweet woman across the river - she was mine.
