Thread Name: Lyr/Chords: Sweet Thames, Flow Softly (MacColl)
Subject: RE: Chord Req: Sweet Thames, Flow Softly
Can't remember what singer or group I learned it from... I've got it somewhere, but no time to look it up. The Reivers used these chords.
   D             A7
I met my love by Willy's pier
    D       G          A7
Beneath the big crane standing,
    D               A7
And, oh, the love I felt for her,
    D          G    A7   D
It passed all understanding.
                   A
I took her sailing on the river
G          A
(Flow sweet river, flow)
D               A
London town was mine to give her.
G    D            A D
(Sweet Thames, flow softly.)
                  A      D
Made the Thames into a crown;
G             A
(Flow, sweet river, flow)
D                A      D
Made a brooch of silver town.
G      D          A D
(Sweet Thames, flow softly)
