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