[Verse 1]

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.

[Verse 2]

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.

[Verse 3]

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.

[Verse 4]

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.

[Verse 5]

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.

[Verse 6]

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.

[Verse 7]

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.
