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