Intro:
C majorC

Verse 1:
       C majorC
Come drive me down to the central station

I hate to leave my river Tyne

For some damn town that's god-forsaken

Fare thee well, Northumberland
       FF         C majorC
Although I'll go where the lady takes me
                G+G
She'll never tell what's in her hand
     C majorC
I do not know what fate awaits me
     FF F/GF/G     C majorC
Fare thee well, Northumberland

Verse 2:
        C majorC
My heart beats for my streets and alleys
     FF F/GF/G       C majorC
Longs to dwell in the borderlands

The north-east shore and the river valleys
     FF F/GF/G     C majorC
Fare thee well, Northumberland
     FF          C majorC
I may not stay, I'm bound for leaving
               C/GC/G
I'm bound to ramble and to roam
    C majorC
I only say my heart is grieving
      FF   F/GF/G      C majorC
I would not gamble on my coming home


Chorus:
C majorC
Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Verse 3:
      C majorC
So drive me down to the central station
     FF F/GF/G     C majorC
I hate to leave my river Tyne

For some damn town that's god-forsaken
  FF F/GF/G       C majorC
Goodbye old friend of mine
       FF         C majorC
Although I'll go where the lady takes me
                C/GC/G
She'll never tell what's in her hand
     C majorC
I do not know what fate awaits me
     FF F/GF/G      C majorC
Fare thee well, Northumberland


Chorus:
C majorC
So roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll
