[Intro]

G D/F# Asus4 G

[Verse 1]

D/F# G A G A

As I crossed over London bridge

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

It was on one morning early

D C G/B G D

There I beheld a fair woman

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

lamenting for Georgie

[Verse 2]

D/F# G A G A

Go fetch me some little boy

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

That can go on an errand quickly

D C G/B G D

Who can go ten miles in an hour

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

With a letter for a lady?

[Verse 3]

D/F# G A G A

And saddle to me my milk white steed

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

And bridle him so rarely

D C G/B G D

So that I may go to Newcastle jail

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

To plead for the life of Georgie

[Verse 4]

D/F# G A G A

And when she came to Newcastle jail

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

She bowed her head so lowly

D C G/B G D

And down on her bended knees she fall

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

Saying - Spare me the life of Georgie

[Verse 5]

D/F# G A G A

Oh, it's no murder George have done

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

Nor have he killed any

D C G/B G D

But he took twelve of the king's fat deer

G Emadd9 G D/F#

And sold them in the army

[Solo Сhords]

D A G A

G Emadd9 G D/F#

Asus4 G

[Verse 6]

D/F# G A G A

Well, the judge look'd over his right shoulder

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

And seeming very sorry

D C G/B G D

He said - I'm afraid, you have come too late

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

He's condemned already

[Verse 7]

D/F# G A G A

But six babies I have with me

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

And I love them so dearly

D C G/B G D

And I would part with them every one

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

If you will spare me the life of Georgie

[Verse 8]

D/F# G A G A

The judge look'd over his left shoulder

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

And seeming very hard-hearted

D C G/B G D

He said - I'm afraid, you have come too late

Emadd9/B D/F# Asus4 G

Because there is no pardon granted

[Verse 9]

D/F# G A G A

We'll let George hang in a chain of gold

Emadd9/B A Em C G/B A

Which are few, there are not many

D C G/B G D

Because he came from a noble life

G Emadd9 G D/F#

And he was loved by a virtuous lady

[Outro]

D A G A

G Emadd9 G D/F# G
