Intro: Am
Am                  G                  F   E
   Annan water, you loom so deep and wide

Am                       G                    F   E
   I would cross over if you would stem the tide

Am                            G                F   E
   Build a boat that I might ford the other side

Am                                   G              F      E         Am
   To reach the farthest shore where my true love lies in wait for me

F   E           Am
   In wait for me

F   E            Am
   In wait for me

F     E            Am
   In wait for me

                      G              F   E
   O grey river, your waters ramble wild

Am                       G                  F    E
   The horses shiver and bite against the bridle

Am                               G                    F   E
   But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me

Am                             G            F          E        Am
   Though my mother cries that if I try, I sure will drowned be

F     E           Am
   Will drowned be

F     E           Am
   Will drowned be

F       E         Am   A
   Will drowned be

         D Dm            A   F#m
If you calm and let me pass

         D            E                 A   A7
You may render me a wreck when I come back

              D  Dm                A   F#m
So calm your waves and slow the churn

             D                E             Am
And you may have my precious bones on my return
[Interlude: Am G F E (x2)]
Am                G                     F   E
   Annan Water, O hear my true love's call

Am                    G                 F   E
   Here her holler above your water's pall

Am                                G                   F   E
   God that I could, that my two arms could give me wing

Am                                    G                 F       E       Am
   And I would cross your breadth and rest my breast about her amber ring

F    E          Am
   Her amber ring

F      E         Am
   Her amber ring

F       E        Am    A
   Her amber ring

             D Dm            A   F#m
But if you calm and let me pass

         D            E                 A   A7
You may render me a wreck when I come back

              D  Dm                A   F#m
So calm your waves and slow the churn

             D                E
And you may have my precious bones on my

        Dm
On my return
