[Verse 1]
  C                     Am
I cannot get to my love if I would die;
    Dm       C                 F
The water of Tyne runs between her and me
    Am                       Dm         F
And here I must stand with a tear in my 'ee
     C                      F            C
Both sighing and sickly, my true love to see


[Verse 2]
    C                     Am                 Dm
Oh, where is the boatman, oh, my bonny hinny?
    Dm           C                     F
Oh, where is the boatman? bring him to me
   Am                Dm      F
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
    C        D          F           C
And I will remember the boatman and thee


[Bridge]
     F                        C
It's starting to rain and I'm froze to the marrow
  F                     F
I see her as plainly as she can see me
     F                        C
It's less than a mile between North Shields and Jarrow
        F                          C
And the ship of my heart's carriеd out to the sea


[Outro]
    C                        Am
Oh, bring me a boatman, I'll give any money
    Dm           G          F
And you for your troubles rewarded shall be
   Am                Dm      F
To ferry me over the Tyne to my honey
   C                    F              C
Or scull her across the rough river to me
