C

Verse 1:
       C
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
       F         C
Although I'll go where the lady takes me
                G
She'll never tell what's in her hand
     C
I do not know what fate awaits me
     F F/G     C
Fare thee well, Northumberland


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

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

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Roll on, Geordie boy, roll

Goodbye old friend of mine
