Verse 1 (use verse tab) Annan water, you loom so deep and wide I'll cross over if you would stem the tide Build a boat that I might thwart the other side To reach the farther shore where my true love lies in wait for me In wait for me, in wait for me, in wait for me
Verse 2: (use verse tab) Oh, gray river, your waters ramble while The horses shiver and bide against the bridal But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drown it be Will drown it be, will drown it be, will drown it be
Chorus Chords: DDmAF#m But if you call and let me pass DEAA7 You may render me a wreck when I come back DDmAA7 So calm your waves and slow the churn DE [start verse tabs here] And you may have my precious bones on my return
Verse 3: (use verse tab) Annan water, oh hear my true love's call Hear her holler above your water's pall God, that I could that my two arms could give me way And I would cross your breath and rest my breast about her amber ring Her amber ring, her amber ring
Chorus Chords: But if you call and let me pass You may render me a wreck when I come back So calm your waves and slow the churn and you may have my precious bones Dm On my, on my return
