Intro:
Am 8x:
Am
The boatman calls from the lake
Dm G
A lone loon dives upon the water
Am
I put my hand over her
F Em Dm C
Down in the lime tree arbour
Am
The wind in the trees is whispering
Dm G
Whispering low that I love her
Am
She puts her hand over mine
F Em Dm C
Down in the lime tree arbour
G
Through every breath that I breathe
Am F
And every place I go
Fm C Am
There is hand that protects me
F Em Dm C
And I do love her so
Instrumental:
Am 4x:
Am
There will always be suffering
Dm G
It flows through life like water
Am
I put my hand over hers
F Em Dm C
Down in the lime tree arbour
Am
The boatman he has gone
Dm G
And the loons have flown for cover
Am
She puts her hand over mine
F Em Dm C
Down in the lime tree arbour
G
Through every word that I speak
Am F
And every thing I know
Fm C Am
There is hand that protects me
F Em Dm C
And I do love her so
