[Intro]
A D A D
D A E A
Bring me a boat to cross to my dear
D A F#m D
I stand here alone, with my sweetheart so near
A E A
Bring to me a boat to cross o'er the Tyne
D A E A
For its deep murky waters part his heart and mine
|[Chorus]
| D A F#m A
|And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
| D A Bm D
|If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
| A E A
|And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
| D A E A
|As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
|

D A E A
Does he know I stand each day on the shore
D A F#m D
Does he know I'd give all to see him once more
A E A
Does he know I've wept ten thousand times o'er
D A E A
And is he still waiting as he was be- fore
[Chorus]
D A E A
The boatman he wants the gold I can't give
D A F#m D
My parents are poor so I've nothing to give
A E A
Only my heart and that will not float
D A E A
So please don't deny me and bring me a boat
[Chorus]
