Cherish The Ladies - Sweet Thames Flow Softly
CAPO 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C Gm C F C Gm C
[Verse 1]
G C G
I met my love at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane standing
C G C G C
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding
Dm F G C
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
Made a brooch of Silver town, sweet Thames flow softly
[Verse 2]
C G C G
At London Yard I held her hand, at Blackwell Point I faced her
C G C G C
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her
Dm F G C
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
All the time my heart was singing, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly
[Verse 3]
C G C G
From Putney Bridge to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing
C G C G C
A necklace made of London Bridge, her beauty was enhancing
Dm F G C
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow sweet river flow
F C G C G
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly
[Verse 4]
C G C G
But now, alas, the tide has changed, my love she has gone from me
C G C G C
And winter's chill has touched my heart and put a blight upon me
Dm F G C
Creeping fog is on the river, flow sweet river flow
Dm F G C G
Sun and moon and stars gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G
Swift the Thames runs to the sea, flow sweet river flow
F C G C
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly
F C G C
Sweet Thames flow softly
