Annan Water

🎸 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

E      Am   Fmaj7
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

🎸 Instrumental:

Am  Asus2     G      Fmaj7    E
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

Her amber ring

So calm your waves  And slow the churn

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