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