[VERSE 1:]
N.C. C      G        F      C
As   I rode out over London Bridge
                   G
On a misty morning early
  C   G       F           G
I overheard a fair pretty maid
  F                      C   F
A cryin' for the life of Geordie


[VERSE 2:]
N.C. C         G    F          C
"Go  bridle to me a milk white steed
               G
Bridle to me a pony
    C         G       F      G
And I'll ride down to London town
         F                    
And I'll plead for the life of 
 C   F
Geordie"

"For he never stole ox, he never 
        C
stole ass
                  G
He never murdered any
   Am       G           F        
He stole sixteen of the King's 
    G
royal deer
       F         Am   Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"


[VERSE 3:]
         C        G        F     
But when she rode down and in the
        C
 King's Hall

                            G
There were lords and ladies plenty
C           G      F             
Down on her bended knees she did 
G
fall
    F                         
And she begged for the life of 
 C   F
Geordie


[VERSE 4:]
         C          G          F 
Crying, "Six pretty babes I've 
     C
had by him
                       G
Another one lies in my body
C          G         F           
Freely I'd part with each one of 
G
them
          F                  
If you'll give me the life of 
 C   F
Geordie"

"For he never stole ox, he never 
        C
stole ass
                  G
He never murdered any
   Am       G           F        
He stole sixteen of the King's 
    G
royal deer
       F         Am   Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"


[VERSE 5:]
        C            G        F  
But the judge looked over his 
       C
left shoulder
                     G
He cried, "I'm sorry for thee
   C           G           F     
My pretty fair maid you've come 
   G
too late
         F                C  F
For he's been condemned already"


[VERSE 6:]
        C             G       
"Oh, me Geordie shall hang in a 
  F        C
chain of gold
                         G
Such chains as never was any
  C        G           F     G
Because he came of the royal blood
       F                    C F
And he courted a fine young lady"

He stole sixteen of the King's

royal deer
       F         Am   Em F
And he sold them in Bohenny"


[VERSE 7:]
       C      G          F      
"Oh, I wish I had you in yonder 
C
grove
                        G
Where times I have been many
     C        G           F      G
With my broad sword and a pistol too
    F                     C   F
I'd fight for the life of Geordie"
