Am C G Am
And here I sit with a tear in my eye,
C G Am
the waters of Tyne in between you and I
Am C G Am
And here I sit with a tear in my eye,
C G Am
the waters of Tyne in between you and I
C G Am C G Am
As a child I dreamed of her, on the far banks of the river
C G Am C G Am
I knew she could not be reached, for my mind was forever wondering
C G Am C G Am
Far above his head, as he tried his best to teach me
C G Am C G Am
The river was muddy and black, black as the coal she carried
C G Am C G Am
Impossible to cross, many men had tried
C G Am C G Am
The old sailor told me, another life is lost
And here I sit with a tear in my eye,
the waters of Tyne in between you and I
And here I sit with a tear in my eye,
the waters of Tyne in between you and I
