Version 1Am G F C As I walked out over London bridge Am C G One misty morning early, Am C G Em I overheard a fair pretty maid F C E Am Was lamenting for her Geordie. Am G F C Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain, Am C G 'Tis not the chain of many Am C G Em He was born of king's royal breed F C E Am And lost to a virtuous lady. Am G F C Go bridle me my milk white steed, Am C G Go bridle me my pony, Am C G Em I will ride to London court F C E Am To plead for the life of my Geordie. Am G F C Ah, my Geordie never stole nor cow nor calf, Am C G He never hurted any, Am C G Em Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer, F C E Am And he sold them in Bohenny. Am G F C Two pretty babies have I born, Am C G The third lies in my body, Am C G Em I'd freely part with them every one F C E Am If you'd spare the life of Geordie. Am G F C The judge looked over his left shoulder, Am C G He said fair maid I'm sorry Am C G Em He said fair maid you must be gone F C E Am For I cannot pardon Geordie. Am G F C Ah, my Geordie will be hanged in a golden chain, Am C G 'Tis not the chain of many, Am C G Em Stole sixteen of the king's royal deer F C E Am And he sold them in Bohenny.
