D            A       E           A
Bring me a boat to cross to my dear
     D         A                F#m        D
I stand here alone, with my sweetheart so near
               A       E              A
Bring to me a boat to cross o'er the Tyne
            D          A         E               A
For it's deep murky waters part his heart and mine


          D            A     F#m         A
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
      D          A           Bm        D
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
                A         E         A
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
     D          A            E              A
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow

A   D A   D

D                A        E            A
Does he know I stand each day on the shore
    D             A        F#m              D
Does he know I'd give all to see him once more
                   A         E             A
Does he know I've wept ten thousand times o're
    D            A         E           A
And is he still waiting as he was before

          D            A     F#m         A
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
      D          A           Bm        D
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
                A         E         
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
     D          A            E              A
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow

D               A         E             A
The boatman he wants the gold I can't give
D              A             F#m         D
My parents are poor so I've nothing to give
         A          E            A
Only my heart and that will not float
    D             A           E          A
So please don't deny me and bring me a boat

          D            A     F#m         A
And the Tyne it flows on and out to the sea
      D          A           Bm        D
If a boat I am granted then safe let me be
                A         E         A
And gently I'll go, for gently I'll row
     D          A            E              A
As gently you breathe as you ebb and you flow
