🎸 Intro:

Am  Asus2  G  Fmaj7  E



🎸 Verse 1:
Am    Asus2      G               Fmaj7   E
Annan water You loom so deep and wide

Am            Asus2   G                  Fmaj7   E
I would cross over If you would stem the tide

Am      Asus2              G             Fmaj7  E
Build a boat That I might ford the other side

Am           Asus2               G            Fmaj7
To reach the farther shore where my true love lies

E           Am     Fmaj7
In wait for me
E           Am     Fmaj7
In wait for me
E           Am     Fmaj7
In wait for me
E           Am     A
in wait for me

🎸 Verse 2:
Am       Asus2       G            Fmaj7   E
Oh, gray river Your waters ramble wide

Am         Asus2      G                Fmaj7   E
The horses shiver And bite against the bri  -  dle

Am         Asus2          G           Fmaj7       E
But I will cross If mine own horse is pulled from me

Am        Asus2              G         Fmaj7
Though my mother cries that if I try I sure

 E           Am      Fmaj7
Will drowned be

 E           Am      Fmaj7
Will drowned be

Will drowned be

E            Am      A
Will drowned be


🎸 Chorus:
           D    Dm            A     F#m
But if you calm    And let me pass

        D           E                 A     A7
You may render me a wreck When I come back

             D     Dm              A      F#m
So calm your waves    And slow the churn

            D                E             Am
And you may have my precious bones on my return

Annan water Oh hear my true love's call

Am       Asus2        G           Fmaj7     E
Hear her holler Above your water's pall

Am          Asus2             G                 Fmaj7       E
God, that I could That my two arms could give me wing

Am          Asus2                 G              Fmaj7
And I would cross your breath And rest my breast about

 E         Am      Fmaj7
Her amber ring

E          Am      Fmaj7
Her amber ring

Her amber ring

You may render me a wreck When I come back

             D     Dm              A      F#m
So calm your waves    And slow the churn

            D                E                         Dm    A
And you may have my precious bones on my    on my    return
