Chords

[Intro] E A E A [Verse 1]
                                   E
There's many ships tarry in the harbour

           D     A         E
Many roads wind across the hill

         A     Em          D       Dm
And many roses grow on the arbour

A               E                  A
Many's the girl waits for me there still
[Chorus]
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning

           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay

            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning

A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day
[Verse 2]
             A                     E
The fish run deep, oh, they run so deeply

         D         A      E
I cannot find them in the seas

                A         Em      D       Dm
The lonely road winds the hill so steeply

            A    E                 A
I'll lie me down there and take my ease
[Chorus]
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning

           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay

            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning

A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day
[Verse 3]
              A                        E
The rose that blooms blows its petals over

               D    A        E
And the thorns lie along the bough

               A        Em             D      Dm
The girls have gone now to a different lover

              A     E          A
They will not linger beside me now
[Chorus]
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning

           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay

            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning

A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day
[Verse 4]
       A                  E
I will build me a boat of silver

              D A      E
Steer it with a golden oar

           A       Em          D        Dm
And I will row out of this sad harbour

          A    E                 A
And never sail back to this dark shore
[Chorus]
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning

           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay

            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning

A               E               A
There is no boatman can net the day

                    Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning

A               E               A
There is no boatman can net the day
