Intro:
E  A   E   A


Verse 1:
                                   E
There's many ships tarry in the harbour
           D     A         E
Many roads wind across the hill
         A     Em          D       Dm
And many roses grow on the arbour
A               E                  A
Many's the girl waits for me there still


Chorus:
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning
           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay
            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning
A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day

Verse 2:
             A                     E
The fish run deep, oh, they run so deeply
         D         A      E
I cannot find them in the seas
                A         Em      D       Dm
The lonely road winds the hill so steeply
            A    E                 A
I'll lie me down there and take my ease


Chorus:
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning
           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay
            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning
A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day


Verse 3:
              A                        E
The rose that blooms blows its petals over
               D    A        E
And the thorns lie along the bough
               A        Em             D      Dm
The girls have gone now to a different lover
              A     E          A
They will not linger beside me now


Chorus:
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning
           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay
            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning
A               E               A     E
There is no boatman can net the day


Verse 4:
       A                  E
I will build me a boat of silver
              D A      E
Steer it with a golden oar
           A       Em          D        Dm
And I will row out of this sad harbour
          A    E                 A
And never sail back to this dark shore


Chorus:
                                 E
For swiftly come all the tides returning
           D        A        E
Swiftly go then and will not stay
            A       Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning
A               E               A
There is no boatman can net the day
                    Em          D        Dm
There is no boatman can net the morning
A               E               A
There is no boatman can net the day
