Geordie Chords by Joan Baez

_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Fm] _ As _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
I walked [Eb] out [Db] over London [Fm] _ _ _
_ Bridge, _ one [F] misty _ morning _ _ early,
_ _ [Fm] I _ _ overheard [Eb] _
a pretty [C] _ _ maid _
_ [Db] _ was [Ab] _ _
[C] lamenting _ [F] for her [Fm] Geordie. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ How my Geordie will [Bb] be hanged _ [Db] _
_ [Fm] and _ chained!
_ _ _ Tis not the chain of many, _ _ _ _ _ he was born of [Eb] King's royal [C] breed, _ _ _
_ [Db] _ And [Ab] lost to [C] a virtuous [F] _ _
[Fm] lady. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Go bridle [Eb] me, _ [Bbm] my milk [Fm]-white steed, _ _
_ Go bridle me, [F] my o'er _ _
_ [Fm]-neem's _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Cm]
call,
_ _ _ [Db] _ _
[Ab] To plead for the [C]
life [F] of _ _ [Fm] _ _
Geordie. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
But my Geordie never [Eb]
stole, [Db] nor cow, [Fm] nor calf, _ _ _
He never hurt [Bb] any, _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
stole sixteen [Bb] of the King's [C] royal deer, _
_ [Db] _ _ [Ab] And he sold [C] them in [Fm] _
_ Boenny. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Two [Bb] pretty _ _ [Db] babies have [Fm] I born, _ _
The third lies in [F] my _ body, _
_ [Fm] _ I'd freely _ part with [Eb] them [Cm] every _ one,
_ [Db] _
If [Ab] you'd spare the [C]
life [F] of _ _ [Fm] _
Geordie. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
The judge [Bb] looked over [Bbm] his left [Fm] _ shoulder,
_ _ _ He said, Fair maid, I'm [Bb]
sorry,
_ _ _ [F] _
Said, Fair maid, [Eb] you must [C] be gone, _
_ [Bbm] _ _ For [Ab] I [C] cannot _ [F] pardon Geordie.
[Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Tis [F] not the chain of _ many, _
_ _ Stole sixteen [Eb] of the King's royal [Cm] _
_ _ deer,
[Db] _ _
[Ab] And he sold [C] them in [F] _ _ [Fm] Boenny. _
