Banks Of The Nile chords by
A. L. Lloyd
A. L. Lloyd

N/A
Verse 1
Am
C
Am

It was on a Monday morning

the 29th of May
C

Our ship she slipped her cable
Am
C

and we were ready for sea

The wind blew from the south -south -west

To Egypt we were bound
Am

And the Portsmouth hills were garnished
C
Am

With pretty girls around

There I beheld a handsome maid
C
Am
G
Am

All in her bloomer years
C

Her making lamentation

and her eyes were full of tears

Oh, I'll cut off me yellow hair

and sail along with you
Am

And I'll dress meself in sailor's clothes

and I'll see Egypt too

O no, my dearest Nancy,
C

sure that it'll never do, Lord Nelson,
Am

I've commanded no wo
C

man there may go.
Am

We must stand to our colour's love
C

and hope that fortune smiles
Am

As we fight with bold meddlesome
C
Am

on the banks of the Nile

Your waist it is too slender

and your fingers are too fine
G
C

Your delicate constitution

couldn't stand the hot campaign

And the sultry southerns of Egypt,

Am
C

your complexion they would spoil
Am

If you fought with bold Lord Nelson
C
Am

on the banks of the Nile

The cannons they do rattle so,

and the cannonballs do fly,
C

And the silver whistles they sound out

to drown our dismal cries.
Am
C

But let a hundred days
Am

be brightened, love,
C

and then you'll give a smile,
Am

and re member Nelson's victory
C
Am
Am

on the banks of the Nile.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
