Am G F C
As I walked out over London bridge
Am C G
One misty morning early,
Am C G Em
I overheard a fair pretty maid
F C E Am
Was lamenting for her Geordie.
Am G F C
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
Am C G
'Tis not the chain of many
Am C G Em
He was born of king's royal breed
F C E Am
And lost to a virtuous lady.
Am G F C
Go bridle me my milk white steed,
Am C G
Go bridle me my pony,
Am C G Em
I will ride to London court
F C E Am
To plead for the life of my Geordie.
Am G F C
Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf,
Am C G
He never hurted any,
Am C G Em
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer,
F C E Am
And he sold them in Bohenny.
Am G F C
Two pretty babies have I born,
Am C G
The third lies in my body,
Am C G Em
I'd freely part with them every one
F C E Am
If you'd spare the life of Geordie.
Am G F C
The judge looked over his left shoulder,
Am C G
He said fair maid I'm sorry
Am C G Em
He said fair maid you must be gone
F C E Am
For I cannot pardon Geordie.
Am G F C
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
Am C G
'Tis not the chain of many,
Am C G Em
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer
F C E Am
And he sold them in Bohenny.
