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

The wind in the trees is whispering
Whispering low that I love her
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour

Chorus:
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

There will always be suffering
It flows through life like water
I put my hand over hers
Down in the lime tree arbour

The boatman he has gone
And the loons have flown for cover
She puts her hand over mine
Down in the lime tree arbour

Chorus:
Through every word that I speak
And every thing I know
There is a hand that protects me
And I do love her so
