Geordie

Am G F C as i walked out over london Bridge Am C G one misty morning early , Am C G Em i overheard a fair pretty maid F C E Am was lamenting for her geordie . Am G F C ah , my geordie will be hanged in a golden chain , Am C G ’tis not the chain of many Am C G Em he was born of king’s royal breed F C E Am and lost to a virtuous lady . Am G F C go bridle me my milk white steed , Am C G go bridle me my pony , Am C G Em i will ride to london court F C E Am to plead for the life of my geordie . Am G F C ah , my geordie never stole nor cow nor calf , Am C G he never hurted any , Am C G Em stole sixteen of the king’s royal deer , F C E Am and he sold them in bohenny . Am G F C two pretty babies have i born , Am C G the third lies in my body , Am C G Em i’d freely part with them every one F C E Am if you’d spare the life of geordie . Am G F C the judge looked over his left shoulder , Am C G he said fair maid i’m sorry Am C G Em he said fair maid you must be gone F C E Am for i cannot pardon geordie . Am G F C ah , my geordie will be hanged in a golden chain , Am C G ’tis not the chain of many , Am C G Em stole sixteen of the king’s royal deer F C E Am and he sold them in bohenny .
