[G] Out in the long hills where the [C] deep heather [G] lies
[D7] Sheep graze the land and a [G] lone curlew [D7] flies
[G] Bright water glistens on the [C] stones ‘neath the [G] sun
And [D7] streams down the hills to the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] Down by the banks, those lovely green banks
Where the [C] small birds whistle and [G] sing
I long to bide on the Wyre Waterside
Where the [D7] river bends to the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] The small streams all gather and [C] quickly roll [G] on
[D7] As a river that grows with each [G] mile that it [D7] runs
[G] Out of the valleys, through the [C] fields and the [G] trees
To [D7] bend o’er the plain to the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] Down by the banks, those lovely green banks
Where the [C] small birds whistle and [G] sing
I long to bide on the Wyre Waterside
Where the [D7] river bends to the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] By hedges and bridges and [C] churches so [G] old
[D7] By houses and farms the [G] Wyre lazily [D7] flows
[G] Into the harbour where the [C] fishing boats [G] lie
At [D7] rest from their labour at [G] sea
{c: }
[G] Down by the banks, those lovely green banks
Where the [C] small birds whistle and [G] sing
I long to bide on the Wyre Waterside
Where the [D7] river bends to the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] How often I’ve wandered on a [C] far distant [G] shore
[D7] And dreamed i was home on the [G] green banks once [D7] more
[G] In the cool of the evening at the [C] end of the[G] day
With my [D7] friends on the banks by the [G] sea
{c: }
[G] Down by the banks, those lovely green banks
Where the [C] small birds whistle and [G] sing
I long to bide on the Wyre Waterside
Where the [D7] river bends to the [G] sea
