[Em] As I walked [D] out
Over [C] London [Em] bridge
One misty morning [D] early
[Em] I overheard a [D] fair pretty maid
[Em] Was La-[D]menting for her [Em] Geordie
[Em] My Geordie will be [D] hung
From a [C] golden [Em] chain
'Tis not the chain of [D] many
[Em] For he was born
Of [D] kings royal breed
[Em] And was [D] lost to virtuous [Em] lady
[Em] Go saddle for [D] me
My [C] milk white [Em] steed
Go saddle me my [D] pony
[Em] For I must ride to [D] London town
[Em] For to [D] plead the life of [Em] Geordie
[Em] My Geordie never [D] stole
No cow [C] nor [Em] calf
He never hurt a [D] lady
[Em] He stole sixteen of the [D] kings royal deer
[Em] And he [D] sold them in [Em] Bohenny
[Em] Two pretty [D] babies
[C] Have I [Em] born
The third lies in my [D] body
[Em] I'd gladly part with [D] them every one
[Em] If you'll but [D] spare the life [Em] Geordie
[Em] The judge he looked [D] over
His [C] Left [Em] shoulder
He said 'fair maid I'm [D] sorry'
[Em] He said [D] 'fair maid you'd best be gone
[Em] For I [D] cannot pardon [Em] Geordie
[Em] My Geordie will be [D] hung
From a [C] golden [Em] chain
'Tis not the chain of [D] many
[Em] He stole sixteen
Of the [D] kings royal deer
[Em] And he [D] sold them in [Em] Bohenny
