     E7            A7
On a summer's afternoon
  D     
I took the bus from Balmbras
    A7            D
And she was heavy laden
 G                 D            
Away we went along Collingwood Street

That's on the Road to Blaydon

Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin
G                  D
Passing the folks along the road
    E7               A7
And all of them were starin'
D
All the lads and lasses there
     A7              D
They all had smilin' faces

   D
We flew past Armstrong's factory
    A7               D
And up by the Robin Adair
    G               D
But gannin ower the Railway Bridge
    E7                 A7
The bus wheel flew off there
    D
The lasses lost their crinolenes
    A7                    D
And veils that hide their faces
      G                    D

In gannin to Blaydon Races

    D
Now when we got the wheel back on
 A7           D
Away we went again
    G                   D
But them that had their noses broke
     E7             A7
They went back ower hyem
D
Some went to the dispensary
    A7             D
And some to Doctor Gibbses
    G             D
And some to the infirmary
   A7                D
To mend their broken ribses

The barman he was calling then
     E7                A7                
They called him Jackie Broon
  D           
I saw him talking to some chaps
    A7             D
And them he was persuadin'
   G                   D

VERSE
    D              
Now when we got to Paradise
           A7            D
There were bonny games begun
           G               D
There were four and twenty on the bus
    E7                A7
And how we danced and sung
     D               
They called on me to sing a song
     A7              D
So I sang 'em 'Paddy Fagan'
  G                  D
I danced a jig and I swung me twig
    A7            D
The day I went to Blaydon

    D              
The rain it poured down all the day
    A7                    D
And made the ground quite muddy
       G            D
Coffee Johnny had a white hat on
    E7                 A7
Shouted 'Wee stole the cuddy?'
      D
There were spice stalls and monkey shows
    A7                D
And old wives selling ciders
        G                    D
And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout
        A7                D
Saying 'Any more lads for riders?'
