Verse 1 (use verse tab)
Annan water, you loom so deep and wide
I would cross over if you would stem the tide
Or build a boat that I might ford the other side F
To reach the farther shore where my true love lies in wait for me
In wait for me, in wait for me, in wait for me
Verse 2: (use verse 1 chords)
Oh, great river, your waters ramble wild
The horses shiver and bite against the bridle
But I will cross if mine own horse is pulled from me
Though my mother cries that if I try I sure will drowned be
Will drowned be, will drowned be, will drowned be
Chorus Chords:
But if you calm and let me pass
You may render me a wreck when I come back
So calm your waves and slow the churn
D E [start verse tabs here]
And you may have my precious bones on my return
Verse 3: (use verse 1 chords)
Annan water, oh hear my true love's call
Hear her holler above your water's pall
God, that I could that my two arms could give me wings
And I would cross your breadth and rest my breast about her amber ring
Her amber ring, her amber ring
Chorus Chords:
But if you calm and let me pass
You may render me a wreck when I come back
So calm your waves and slow the churn
D E [start verse tabs here]
And you may have my precious bones on my return
On my, on my return
