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 

A   D A   D 

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
