Altan - Blackwaterside
CAPO: 4th Fret
[Verse 1]
B E B
One evening fair to take the air
A E B
Down by Blackwaterside
E B E B
'Twas a-gazing all around me
A E B
That the Irish lad I spied
[Verse 2]

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