G         Hmi    C        G

1. I cannot get to my love if I would need

        C         Ami           C            G

   the waters of Tyne stand between him and me

                     G/F#          Emi       C

   and here I must stand with the tear in my eye

       G            Hmi         C           G Hmi C G

   oh sighing and starving my true love to see.



2. Oh where is the boatman my bonnie will need

   oh where is the boatman oh bring him to me

   for to ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

   to carry him 'cross the run waters to me.



3. Oh where is the boatman I`ll pay any money

   and you for your troubles rewarded shall be

   if you ferry me over the Tyne to my honey

   and I will remember the boatman and thee.
