Sweet Thames Flow Softly Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I met my love near Woo[G]lwich Pier
Be[C]neath the [F]big crane [G]standin'
[C]All the love I [G]felt for her
It [C]passed all [G]understand[C]in'
Took her sailin' [F]on the river,
[C]Flow, [D]sweet [C]river, [G]flow.
[C]London town was [F]mine to give her,
[C]Sweet [G]Thames, flow [C]softly.
I [G]made the Thames into a crown,
[F]Flow, [C]sweet [G]river, flow.
I made a broach of silver town,
[F]Sweet [C]Thames, flow [G]softly.[C]
From Shadwell Dock to [G]Nine Elms Reach
We [C]cheek to [F]cheek were [G]dancin'
Her [C]necklace made of [G]London bridge
Her [C]beauty [G]was en[C]hancing
Kissed her once [F]again, a whopping
[C]Flow, [G]sweet [C]river, [G]flow
Af[C]ter that there [F]was no stopping
[C]Sweet [G]Thames flow [F]softly[C]
[G]Give her Hampton Court to twist,
[F]flow, [C]sweet [G]river, flow
Into a bracelet for her wrist,
[F]sweet [C]towns flow [G]softly[C]
But now, alas, the [G]tide has changed
My [C]love, she [F]has gone [G]from me
Win[C]ter's frost has [G]touched my heart
and [C]put a [G]blight [C]upon me
Creeping fog is [F]on the river [C]flow,
[G]sweet [C]river flow
[G]Sun [C]and moon and sta[F]rs gone wither,
[C]Sweet [G]Thames flow [F]softly.[C]
[G]Swift the Thames flows to the sea,
[F]Flow, [C]sweet river[G], flow.
Bearing ships on part of me
[F]Sweet [C]thumbs flow [G]softly

[Outro 1]
