A5           G5            F5    C5
As I walked out over London bridge
A5         C5        G5
One misty morning early,
A5      C5      G5           E5
I overheard a fair pretty maid
F5        C5     E5        A5
Was lamenting for her Geordie.
   
        A5               G5           F5      C5
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
A5             C5       G5
'Tis not the chain of many
A5       C5       G5            E5
He was born of king's royal breed
F5     C5          E5       A5
And lost to a virtuous lady.
     A5   G5      F5           C5
Go bridle me my milk white steed,
A5        C5      G5
Go bridle me my pony,
A5       C5       G5      E5
I will ride to London court
F5    C5            E5           A5
To plead for the life of my Geordie.
        
         A5            G5        F5        C5
Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf,
A5         C5     G5
He never hurted any,
A5       C5            G5             E5      
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer,
F5       C5        E5     A5
And he sold them in Bohenny.

A5           G5     F5      C5
Two pretty babies have I born,
     A5         C5     G5
The third lies in my body,
A5          C5               G5    E5
I'd freely part with them every one
    F5      C5        E5        A5
If you'd spare the life of Geordie.

     A5           G5         F5     C5
The judge looked over his left shoulder,
    A5         C5        G5
He said fair maid I'm sorry
    A5         C5        G5      E5
He said fair maid you must be gone
F5        C5      E5      A5
For I cannot pardon Geordie.

         A5              G5            F5     C5
Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain,
  A5           C5        G5
'Tis not the chain of many,
A5      C5              G5           E5
Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer
F5       C5         E5    A5
And he sold them in Bohenny.
