Sweet Thames Flow Softly

Written by Ewan MacColl

	  		CAPO: 4


Intro: C  Dm  F  G  C  Dm  F  G  C  G 

  C              G               C                   G 
I met my love at Woolwich Pier beneath the big crane standing 
    C              G               C          G    C 
And all the love I felt for her it passed all understanding 
                 Dm           F           G           C 
Took her sailing on the river, flow sweet river flow 
                Dm               F      G           C       G 
London town was mine to give her, sweet Thames flow softly 
                              F    C           G 
Made the Thames into a crown, flow sweet river flow 
                              F     C      G        C    G 
Made a brooch of Silver town, sweet Thames flow softly 


   C             G                 C                 G 
At London Yard I held her hand, at Blackwell Point I faced her 
       C              G                    C     G           C 
At the Isle of Dogs I kissed her mouth and tenderly embraced her 
                   Dm                 F          G           C 
Heard the bells of Greenwich ringing, flow sweet river flow 
                Dm                 F     G           C       G 
All the time my heart was singing, sweet Thames flow softly 
                                 F     C     G 
Limehouse Reach I gave her there, flow sweet river flow 
                         F      C      G        C    G 
As a ribbon for her hair, sweet Thames flow softly 


     C                G                   C                   G 
From Shadwell Dock to Nine Elms Reach, we cheek to cheek were dancing 
  C                G                  C      G     C 
A necklace made of London Bridge, her beauty was enhancing 
                 Dm               F          G           C 
Kissed her once again at Wapping, flow sweet river flow 
                 Dm               F     G           C       G 
After that there was no stopping, sweet Thames flow softly 
                            F     C     G 
Richmond Park it was a ring, flow sweet river flow 
                        F      C      G        C    G 
I'd have given anything, sweet Thames flow softly 


     C              G                C            G 
From Rotherhithe to Putney Bridge my love I was declaring 
    C               G              C        G      C 
And she from Kew to Isleworth, her love for me was swearing 
               Dm                F          G           C 
Love it set my heart to burning, flow sweet river flow 
              Dm                F     G           C       G 
Never saw the tide was turning, sweet Thames flow softly 
                                F     C     G 
Gave her Hampton Court to twist, flow sweet river flow 
                              F      C      G        C    G 
Into a bracelet for her wrist, sweet Thames flow softly 


    C         G                         C                 G 
But now, alas, the tide has changed, my love she has gone from me 
    C                  G                    C       G     C 
And winter's chill has touched my heart and put a blight upon me 
                Dm           F           G           C 
Creeping fog is on the river, flow sweet river flow 
                 Dm                  F      G           C       G 
Sun and moon and stars gone with her, sweet Thames flow softly 
                                 F     C     G 
Swift the Thames runs to the sea, flow sweet river flow 
                             F      C      G        C     
Bearing ships and part of me, sweet Thames flow softly 
F     C        G      C  
Sweet Thames flow softly
