                                        G                G7                C
    Staedtele hinaus, und du, mein Schatz, bleibst hier?
                         G                      C

Presumably the absence of numerous F chords is down to HTML problems ? There is also a Bflat chord which should be played at the end of the line

it was always you from the start. (G-Bflat_G)

At least that's how Elvis played it ...

Joe Dowell is the one I remember--anyway, before you go plugging away at this,el, find out what key your friend's harmonica is in--then get the chords in that key.

Another verse remembered from my youth ...(before Presley)
Wenn i komm, wenn i komm, wenn i wieder, wieder komm,
Wieder, wieder komm, kehr i ein mein Schatz bei dir.

Muß i' denn zum Städtele hinaus

- Aus dem Remstal, zuerst bei Friedrich Silcher, 1827

2. & 3. Strophe Heinrich Wagner 1. Muß i' denn, muß i' denn Zum Städtele hinaus, Städtele hinaus Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm', Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm', Kehr i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir |: Kann i' glei' net allweil bei dir sei'    Han' i' doch mei' Freud' an dir    Wenn i' komm', wenn i' komm',    Wenn i' wiederum, wiederum komm',    Kehr' i' ei' mei' Schatz bei dir. :| 2. Wenn du weinst, wenn du weinst, Daß i' wandere muß, Wandere muß, Wie wenn d'Lieb jetzt wär vorbei Sind au' drauß, sind au' drauß, Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel Lieber Schatz, i' bleib dir treu. |: Denk du nett wenn i' a and're seh    No sei mei Lieb' vorbei    Sind au' drauß, sind au' drauß,    Der Mädele viel, Mädele viel    Lieber Schatz, i' bleib dir treu. :| 3. Übers Jahr, übers Jahr, Wenn mer Träubele schneidt, Träubele schneidt, Stell i' hier mi' wiedrum ei' Bin i' dann, bin i' dann, Dei' Schätzele no', Schätzele no' So soll die Hochzeit sei. |: Übers Jahr do ischt mei' Zeit vorbei    Do g'hör i' mei und dei    Bin i' dann, bin i' dann,    Dei' Schätzele no', Schätzele no'    So soll die Hochzeit sei. :|

Tr. & Phonetic Ver. Frank 1998 1. Got to go, got to go, Got to leave this town, Leave this town And you, my dear, stay here. When I'm back, when I'm back When I'm back again, back again, On your doorstep I'll appear. |: Tho' I can't be with you all the time    My thoughts are with you, my dear    When I'm back, when I'm back    When I'm back again, back again,    On your doorstep I'll appear. :| 2. Don't you cry, don't you cry, 'cause I've got to go, Got to go, As if our love was now gone. Tho' out there, tho' out there Are so many girls, many girls, I'll stay true to you alone. |: Don't think when I see another girl    My love for you, it will be gone.    Tho' out there, tho' out there    Are so many girls, many girls,    I'll stay true to you alone. :| 3. In a year, in a year, With grapes ripe on the vine, Ripe on the vine, Then, again it's here I'll be. If by then, if by then, I am still your beau, still your beau We will wed, my bride you'll be. |: In a year my time, it will be done    And then it is your's I will be.    If by then, if by then,    I am still your beau, still your beau,    We will wed, my bride you'll be. :|

Latin Cum est fas me discedere, Mea lux, requires me; Rediens, iens iterum, Mea lux, revisam te. Etsi adsum non perpetuo, Es mi semper laetitiae. Rediens, iens iterum, Mea lux, revisam te. Quidnam fles, quod demigro, Quasi amor exstinctus sit? Multae sint foris virgines, Mes fides non perit. Etsi aliae occurrunt mi, Amor me non deficit. Multae sint foris virgines, Mes fides non perit. Anno post in vin demia Revertar huc ad te; Tum si me ames pariter, Celebrentur nuptiae! Anno post cum tempus abiit, Tibi dabo denuo me; Tum si me ames pariter, Celebrentur nuptiae!
