Intro: Am
[Am] Annan water, you [G]loom so deep and wi[F]de[E]
[Am] I would cross over if [G]you would stem the ti[F]de[E]
[Am] Build a boat that I might f[G]ord the other sid[F]e[E]
[Am] To reach the farthest shore where [G]my true love li[F]es in w[E]ait for me[Am]
[F] I[E]n wait for m[Am]e
[F] I[E]n wait for me[Am]
[F] In [E]wait for me[Am]
O grey river, your [G]waters ramble w[F]ild[E]
[Am] The horses shiver and [G]bite against the br[F]idle[E]
[Am] But I will cross if mine own h[G]orse is pulled from m[F]e[E]
[Am] Though my mother cries that [G]if I try, I s[F]ure will dr[E]owned be[Am]
[F] Wil[E]l drowned be[Am]
[F] Wil[E]l drowned be[Am]
[F] Will [E]drowned be[Am][A]
If you ca[D]lm[Dm] and let me pa[A]ss[F#m]
You may r[D]ender me a wr[E]eck when I come ba[A]ck[A7]
So calm your w[D]ave[Dm]s and slow the chu[A]rn[F#m]
And you may h[D]ave my precious b[E]ones on my ret[Am]urn
(Interlude: Am G F E (x2))

[Am] Here her holler abo[G]ve your water's pa[F]ll[E]
[Am] God that I could, that my two a[G]rms could give me wi[F]ng[E]
[Am] And I would cross your breadth and [G]rest my breast abo[F]ut her a[E]mber rin[Am]g
[F] He[E]r amber rin[Am]g
[F] Her [E]amber ring[Am]
