GEORDIE
As [Am]I walked o[G]ut over Lon[F]don b[C]ridge [Am]One misty m[C]orning ea[G]rly,
[Am]I overhe[C]ard a f[G]air pretty m[Em]aid [F]Was lamen[C]ting f[E]or her Ge[Am]ordie.

Ah, my G[Am]eordie will be ha[G]nged in a go[F]lden ch[C]ain, [Am]'Tis not the ch[C]ain of m[G]any
[Am]He was bo[C]rn of ki[G]ng's royal br[Em]eed [F]And lo[C]st to a vir[E]tuous la[Am]dy.
Go br[Am]idle [G]me my m[F]ilk white st[C]eed, [Am]Go bridle [C]me my p[G]ony,
[Am]I will ri[C]de to Lo[G]ndon co[Em]urt [F]To pl[C]ead for the l[E]ife of my Ge[Am]ordie.

Ah, my Ge[Am]ordie never st[G]ole nor c[F]ow nor ca[C]lf, [Am]He never hu[C]rted a[G]ny,
[Am]Stole six[C]teen of the k[G]ing's royal de[Em]er, [F]And he s[C]old them [E]in Boh[Am]enny.
[Am]Two pretty ba[G]bies h[F]ave I b[C]orn, The t[Am]hird lies i[C]n my b[G]ody,
[Am]I'd freely p[C]art with them ev[G]ery o[Em]ne If y[F]ou'd sp[C]are the l[E]ife of Ge[Am]ordie.
The j[Am]udge looked o[G]ver his le[F]ft sho[C]ulder, He s[Am]aid fair ma[C]id I'm so[G]rry
He s[Am]aid fair ma[C]id you mu[G]st be g[Em]one [F]For I can[C]not par[E]don Geo[Am]rdie.
Ah, my Ge[Am]ordie will be ha[G]nged in a gol[F]den ch[C]ain, 'T[Am]is not the ch[C]ain of ma[G]ny,
[Am]Stole si[C]xteen of the ki[G]ng's royal d[Em]eer [F]And he s[C]old them i[E]n Boh[Am]enny.
