  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
