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
