Biography:
James Keelaghan is a Juno award-winning Canadian folk singer-songwriter born in Calgary, Alberta, now based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Many of his songs, such as "Kiri's Piano", about the interment of Japanese Canadians, "October 70", about the FLQ crisis, are inspired by events and figures in Canadian history. Known for his lilting baritone voice, his driving rhythm guitar, and a keen sense of scene and narrative, Keelaghan’s music bridges traditional folk music with Canadiana.

James Keelaghan - Sweet Thames Flow Softly
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C Dm F G C Dm F G C G
C G C G
I met my love at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane standing
C G C G C
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding
Dm F G C
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
Made a brooch of Silver town, sweet Thames flow softly
C G C G
At London Yard I held her hand, at Blackwell Point I faced her
C G C G C
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her
Dm F G C
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
All the time my heart was singing, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly
C G C G
From Shadwell Dock to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing
C G C G C
A necklace made of London Bridge, her beauty was enhancing
Dm F G C
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Richmond Park it was a ring, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
I'd have given anything, sweet Thames flow softly
C G C G
From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge my love I was declaring
C G C G C
And she from Kew to Isleworth, her love for me was swearing
Dm F G C
Love it set my heart to burning, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
Never saw the tide was turning, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly
C G C G
But now, alas, the tide has changed, my love she has gone from me
C G C G C
And winter's chill has touched my heart and put a blight upon me
Dm F G C
Creeping fog is on the river, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
Sun and moon and stars gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Swift the Thames runs to the sea, flow sweet river flow
F C G C
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G C
Sweet Thames flow softly
