Altan - Blackwaterside
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
E A E
One evening fair to take the air
D A E
Down by Blackwaterside
A E A E
'Twas a-gazing all around me
D A E
That the Irish lad I spied
[Verse 2]
A E
All through the part of dark the night
D A E
We did lie in sport and play
A E A E
When this young man arose and gathered his clothes
D A E
Saying, "Fare thee well today"
[Verse 3]
A E
That's not the promise that you gave to me
D A E
When you lay upon my breast
A E A E
You could make me believe with your lying words
D A E
That the sun rose in the west
[Instrumental]
E A E D A E
[Verse 4]
A E
Go home, go home to your father's garden
D A E
Go home and weep your fill
A E A E
And think on your own misfortune
D A E
You brought on with your wanton will
[Verse 5]
A E
For there's not a girl in this whole wide world
D A E
As easily led as I
A E A E
And when fishes can fly and the seas run dry
D A E D E
It is then that you'll marry I
D A E
It is then that you'll marry I
