Intro: Am
Am G F E
Annan water, you loom so deep and wide
Am G F E
I would cross over if you would stem the tide
Am G F E
Build a boat that I might ford the other side
Am G F E Am
To reach the farthest shore where my true love lies in wait for me
F E Am
In wait for me
F E Am
In wait for me
F E Am
In wait for me
G F E
O grey river, your waters ramble wild
Am G F E
The horses shiver and bite against the bridle
Am G F E
But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me
Am G F E Am
Though my mother cries that if I try, I sure will drowned be
F E Am
Will drowned be
F E Am
Will drowned be
F E Am A
Will drowned be
D Dm A F#m
If you calm and let me pass
D E A A7
You may render me a wreck when I come back
D Dm A F#m
So calm your waves and slow the churn
D E Am
And you may have my precious bones on my return
[Interlude: Am G F E (x2)]
Am G F E
Annan Water, O hear my true love's call
Am G F E
Here her holler above your water's pall
Am G F E
God that I could, that my two arms could give me wing
Am G F E Am
And I would cross your breadth and rest my breast about her amber ring
F E Am
Her amber ring
F E Am
Her amber ring
F E Am A
Her amber ring
D Dm A F#m
But if you calm and let me pass
D E A A7
You may render me a wreck when I come back
D Dm A F#m
So calm your waves and slow the churn
D E
And you may have my precious bones on my
Dm
On my return
