Misc Traditional – The Water Of Tyne (Guitar)

  D          A7          G          D
I cannot get to my love, if I would dee,

    G        A7          G             A7
The water of Tyne runs between her and me,

    D                                   G
And here I must stand with a tear in my e'ee,

     D           A7        G             D
Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see.

  D            A7          G        D
O where is the boatman? my bonny hinny!

  G            A7       G            A7
O where is the boatman? bring him to me,

   D                            G
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,

    D        A7         G           D
and I will remember the boatman and thee.

  D          A7            G          D
O bring me a boatman, I'll give any money,

    G            A7        G            A7
and you for your trouble rewarded shall be,

   D                            G
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey,

   D          A7               G        D
Or scull him across that rough river to me.

  D          A7          G          D
I cannot get to my love, if I would dee,

    G        A7          G             A7
The water of Tyne runs between her and me,

    D                                   G
And here I must stand with a tear in my e'ee,

     D           A7        G             D
Both sighing and sickly my sweetheart to see.
