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