Geordie chords by Joan Baez

Chords with lyrics

As I walked out over London bridge
A minorAm     C majorC    G+G
One misty morning early,
A minorAm   C majorC   G+G      E minorEm
I overheard a fair pretty maid
FF    C majorC   E MajorE    A minorAm
Was lamenting for her Geordie.

    A minorAm        G+G      FF   C majorC
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
A minorAm       C majorC    G+G
'Tis not the chain of many
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G      E minorEm
He was born of king's royal breed
FF   C majorC     E MajorE    A minorAm
And lost to a virtuous lady.
   A minorAm  G+G   FF      C majorC
Go bridle me my milk white steed,
A minorAm    C majorC   G+G
Go bridle me my pony,
A minorAm    C majorC    G+G   E minorEm
I will ride to London court
FF  C majorC      E MajorE      A minorAm
To plead for the life of my Geordie.

     A minorAm      G+G    FF    C majorC
Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf,
A minorAm     C majorC   G+G
He never hurted any,
A minorAm    C majorC      G+G       E minorEm
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer,
FF    C majorC    E MajorE   A minorAm
And he sold them in Bohenny.

A minorAm      G+G   FF   C majorC
Two pretty babies have I born,
   A minorAm     C majorC   G+G
The third lies in my body,
A minorAm     C majorC        G+G  E minorEm
I'd freely part with them every one
  FF   C majorC    E MajorE    A minorAm
If you'd spare the life of Geordie.

   A minorAm      G+G     FF   C majorC
The judge looked over his left shoulder,
  A minorAm     C majorC    G+G
He said fair maid I'm sorry
  A minorAm     C majorC    G+G   E minorEm
He said fair maid you must be gone
FF    C majorC   E MajorE   A minorAm
For I cannot pardon Geordie.

     A minorAm       G+G      FF   C majorC
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
 A minorAm      C majorC    G+G
'Tis not the chain of many,
A minorAm   C majorC       G+G      E minorEm
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer
FF    C majorC     E MajorE  A minorAm
