Chords for THE FERRYMAN'S DAUGHTER - Donovan P. Leitch

_ This is a bit of fun for me, making songs that sound like traditional songs.
And this [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [C#] one_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Way [B] deep down in the green [E] woodow, a rub-chop-chopping on the window
A young, belated and rambling boy [B] across the way the river [E] to go
The river [A] is wide, the river [B] is [A] deep, all within the [B] cottage [C#m] seemed asleep
Mmm [E]-ba-da!
_ [B] _ _ [C#m] _ _
[E] By and by, the young girl came, [B] blink and [C#] sleep from her dark eye
She put [E] her finger to her lip, [B] so young and yet [E] not so shy
The river [A] is [E] weird, the river is wide, come [A] to the scholarly and [C#m] step in [E] sight, sir
[B] Mmm-ba [C#]-da!
_ Dee-dum-blam-boom dee-dum-blam-boom
I tell [E] thee ye, a roving tale or recite to you a fable
If you will give me some bread and a little hot soup if you're able
The [A] river is wide, the [B] river is [A] deep, the ferry man, my [B] father [C#m] lies asleep
[E] _ Oh dear, oh my [C#m] my, diddle diddle dim ba
Hum, diddle [C#] diddle de dum, diddle diddle de dum
She, then, [E] she put on a cloak of wool
[G#m] And a pair of fine boots of a deer's skin
[E] A lower in her pretty dark eye
When he caught a glimpse of a fair skin
The [A] river is wide, the [B] river is [A] deep
The fairy man, her [B] father, [C#m] lay asleep
[E] Oh, da da da, [B] oh my [C#] my, diddle dum
He laid her down in the [E] green wood
Oh, squiddled in a rabbit's comfort
He sang her the ancient roving [B] tale
in the metal he [E] did enchant her.
The river is wide, the river is deep, the fairy man, her father lay asleep.
A-da-dum-ba-da, [B] a-ba-da [C#m]-da-dum-ba-de, a [E]-ba-da-da-dum-ba-da, a-ba-da-da-dum.
[C#] They bid [E] farewell by the river bank, [B] he looked long into [C#] her dark eye.
An otter [E] splashed and quickly sank,
grey like goose in the grey sky.
[A] The river is [E] wide, the river is deep, the [Am] fairy [E] man, her father.
The river is wide, the river is deep, the fairy man, her father.
The river is wide, the river is deep, the fairy man, her father [C#] lay asleep.
[E] A-da-dum-ba-da, [B] a-ba [C#]-da-da-dum-ba-da.
