Am [8x]

Am
The boatman calls from the lake
Dm                         G
A lone loon dives upon the water
Am
I put my hand over her
F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

Am
The wind in the trees is whispering
Dm                    G
Whispering low that I love her
Am
She puts her hand over mine
F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

G
Through every breath that I breathe
Am                F
And every place I go
Fm         C            Am
There is hand that protects me
F     Em      Dm  C
And I do love her so

[Instrumental]
Am [4x]

Am
There will always be suffering
Dm                         G
It flows through life like water
Am
I put my hand over hers
F           Em   Dm   C
Down in the lime tree arbour

Am
The boatman he has gone
Dm                           G
And the loons have flown for cover
Am
She puts her hand over mine
F           Em   Dm    C
Down in the lime tree arbour

G
Through every word that I speak
Am                F
And every thing I know
Fm       C             Am
There is hand that protects me
F        Em   Dm  C
And I do love her so
