Am G Em7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am D Am Em
As I walked over london bridge one misty morning early
Am G Em Am
I heard some fair young maiden say Lord spare me the life of Georgie

Am G Em
Then I'll ride away to the king´s high court and plead for the life of
Am
Georgie"

Am G Em7 Am
[Verse 2]
Am D Am Em
She rode all day and she rode all night 'til she was wet and weary
Am G Em Am
Then combing back her long yellow hair she plead for the life of Georgie
Am D Am
She pulled out a purse all filled with gold just like you've never seen
Em
ma-ny
Am G Em Am
then she said young lawyers fee yourselves and plead for the life of Geor-gie
[Instrumental]
Am G Em7 Am
[Verse 3]
Am D Am Em
Georgie rode up and he plead for himself he says I never murdered an-y,
Am G Em Am
But I stole sixteen of the king´s best steeds and I sold them in romany
Am D Am Em
Then the oldest lawyer at the bar says "George I´m sorry for you,
Am G Em Am
But your own confession condemns you to die, may the Lord have mercy upon
you
[Instrumental]
