Misc Traditional – Row On (Guitar)

      G                        C
Dark clouds are on the summer sky

        Am             D
There's thunder on the wind;

    G      (Em)    G        C
Row on, row on and homeward hie,

    G        D        G
Nor give one look behind.

    G                   C
Row on, row on; another day

               C        D
May shine with brighter light.

     G                      C
Ply, ply the oars and haul away;

        G       D       G
There's dawn beyond the night.

     G                             C
Bear where thou goest the words of love,

    Am                  D
Say all that words can say.

       G       (Em)    G          C
Changeless affection, strength to prove,

     G      D      G
And speed upon the way.

    G                   C
Row on, row on; another day

               C        D
May shine with brighter light.

     G                       C
Ply, ply the oars and haul away;

        G       D       G
There's dawn beyond the night.

    G                      C
Oh, like yon river would I glide

   Am                   D
To where my heart would be,

   G             (Em)             C
My barque should soon outsail the tide

      G      D       G
That hurries to the sea.

    G                   C
Row on, row on; another day

               C        D
May shine with brighter light.

     G                       C
Ply, ply the oars and haul away;

        G       D       G
There's dawn beyond the night.

    G                          C
But yet a star shines constant still

         Am           D
Through yonder cloudy sky,

    G       (Em)            C
And hope as bright my bosom fills

     G         D      G
with love that cannot die.

    G                   C
Row on, row on; another day

               C        D
May shine with brighter light.

     G                       C
Ply, ply the oars and haul away;

        G       D       G
There's dawn beyond the night.

    G                         C
Row on, row on, and speed the way,

     Am              D
Thou must not linger here -

       G     (Em)              C
Storms hang about the close of day,

   G     D      G
Tomorrow may be clear.

    G                   C
Row on, row on; another day

               C        D
May shine with brighter light.

     G                       C
Ply, ply the oars and haul away;

        G       D       G
There's dawn beyond the night.
