Verse 1 (use verse tab)
Annan water, you loom so deep and wide
I would cross over if you would stem the tide
Or build a boat that I might ford the other side F
To reach the farther shore where my true love lies in wait for me
[G]In wait for [Am]me, [F]in wait for [Em]me, [G]in wait for [Am]me
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Oh, great river, your waters ramble wild
The horses shiver and bite against the bridle
But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me
Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drowned be
Will drowned be, will drowned be, will drowned be
Chorus Chords:
But if you c[D]alm [Dm] and let me p[A]ass [F#m]
You may r[D]ender me a w[E]reck when I come b[A]ack [A7]
So calm your wa[D]ves [Dm] and slow the c[A]hurn [A7]
D E (start verse tabs here)
And you may have my precious bones on my return
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
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 wings
And I would cross your breadth and rest my breast about her amber ring
Her amber ring, her amber ring
Chorus Chords:
But if you c[D]alm [Dm] and let me p[A]ass [F#m]
You may r[D]ender me a w[E]reck when I come b[A]ack [A7]
So calm your wa[D]ves [Dm] and slow the c[A]hurn [A7]
D E (start verse tabs here)
And you may have my precious bones on my return
On my, on my r[Dm]eturn
