James Keelaghan - Sweet thames flow softly

I ^Cmet my love at ^GWoolwich Pier be^Cneath the big crane ^Gstanding And ^Call the love I ^Gfelt for her it ^Cpassed all ^Gunder^Cstanding Took her sailing ^Dmon the river,^F flow sweet ^Griver flow ^C London town was ^Dmmine to give her,^F sweet ^GThames flow ^Csoftly ^G Made the Thames into a crown, ^Fflow ^Csweet river ^Gflow Made a brooch of Silver town, ^Fsweet ^CThames ^Gflow soft^Cly ^G

At ^CLondon Yard I ^Gheld her hand, at ^CBlackwell Point I ^Gfaced her At the ^CIsle of Dogs I ^Gkissed her mouth and ^Ctender^Gly embraced ^Cher Heard the bells of ^DmGreenwich ringing, ^Fflow sweet ^Griver flow ^C All the time my ^Dmheart was singing, ^Fsweet ^GThames flow ^Csoftly ^G Limehouse Reach I gave her there,^F flow ^Csweet ^Griver flow As a ribbon for her hair,^F sweet ^CThames ^Gflow soft^Cly ^G

From ^CShadwell Dock to ^GNine Elms Reach, we ^Ccheek to cheek were ^Gdancing A ^Cnecklace made of ^GLondon Bridge, her ^Cbeauty ^Gwas en^Chancing Kissed her once a^Dmgain at Wapping, ^Fflow sweet ^Griver flow ^C After that there ^Dmwas no stopping, ^Fsweet ^GThames flow ^Csoftly ^G Richmond Park it was a ring,^F flow ^Csweet ^Griver flow I'd have given anything,^F sweet ^CThames ^Gflow soft^Cly ^G

From ^CRotherhithe to ^GPutney Bridge my ^Clove I was de^Gclaring And ^Cshe from Kew to ^GIsleworth, her ^Clove for ^Gme was ^Cswearing Love it set my ^Dmheart to burning, ^Fflow sweet ^Griver flow ^C Never saw the ^Dmtide was turning, ^Fsweet ^GThames flow ^Csoftly ^G Gave her Hampton Court to twist,^F flow ^Csweet ^Griver flow Into a bracelet for her wrist,^F sweet ^CThames ^Gflow soft^Cly ^G

But ^Cnow, alas,^G the tide has changed, my ^Clove she has gone ^Gfrom me And ^Cwinter's chill has ^Gtouched my heart and ^Cput a bl^Gight u^Cpon me Creeping fog is ^Dmon the river,^F flow sweet ^Griver flow ^C Sun and moon and ^Dmstars gone with her,^F sweet ^GThames flow ^Csoftly ^G Swift the Thames runs to the sea,^F flow ^Csweet ^Griver flow Bearing ships and part of me,^F sweet ^CThames ^Gflow soft^Cly ^FSweet ^CThames fl^Gow soft^Cly
