[Verse]
Bm A G D
As I walked out over London Bridge
A D
One misty morning early
A F#m
I overheard a fair pretty maid
G F#m G
Lamenting for her Geordie
[Verse]
Bm A G D
Oh, my Geordie will be hanged from a golden chain
A D
'Tis not the chain of many
A F#m
He was born of the King's royal breed
G F#m G
And lost to a virtuous lady
[Verse]
Bm A G D
Go bridle me my milk white steed
A D
Go bridle me my pony
A F#m
I will ride to London's court
G F#m G
To plead for the life of Geordie
[Verse]
Bm A G D
Oh, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf
A D
He never hurted any
A F#m
He stole sixteen of the king's royal deer
G F#m G
And sold them in Bohenny
[Verse]
Bm A G D
Two pretty babies have I born
A D
The third lies in my body
A F#m
I'd freely part with them everyone
G F#m G
If you'd spare the life of Geordie
[Verse]
Bm A G D
The judge looked over his left shoulder
A D
He said, "Fair maid, I'm sorry"
A F#m
He said, "Fair maid, you must be gone
G F#m G
For I cannot pardon Geordie"
[Verse]
Bm A G D
I wish I was in yonder grove
A D
Where times I have been many
A F#m
With my broad sword and my pistol, too
G F#m G
I'd fight for the life of Geordie
[Instrumental]
