INTRO: C majorC DmDm FF G+G C majorC DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I met my love at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane standing
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding
DmDm FF G+G C majorC
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow
DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Made a brooch of Silver town, sweet Thames flow softly
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
At London Yard I held her hand, at Blackwell Point I faced her
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her
DmDm FF G+G C majorC
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow sweet river flow
DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
All the time my heart was singing, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river flow
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
From Shadwell Dock to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
A augmentedA necklace made of London Bridge, her beauty was enhancing
DmDm FF G+G C majorC
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow sweet river flow
DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G
Richmond Park it was a ring, flow sweet river flow
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
I'd have given anything, sweet Thames flow softly
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge my love I was declaring
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
And she from Kew to Isleworth, her love for me was swearing
DmDm FF G+G C majorC
Love it set my heart to burning, flow sweet river flow
DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
Never saw the tide was turning, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow sweet river flow
FF C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G
But now, alas, the tide has changed, my love she has gone from me
C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
And winter's chill has touched my heart and put a blight upon me
DmDm FF G+G C majorC
Creeping fog is on the river, flow sweet river flow
DmDm FF G+G C majorC G+G
Sun and moon and stars gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G
Swift the Thames runs to the sea, flow sweet river flow
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly
FF C majorC G+G C majorC
