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