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