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