[Intro]
D5 A G
[Verse 1]
D D5 D D5
As I roved out of a bright May morning
D G A
Calm and clear was the weather
D5 D D/F# G
Well I chanced to roam some miles from home
D D/F# A G
Among the beautiful blooming heather
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
And I chanced to roam some miles from home
D D/F# A G
Among the beautiful blooming heather
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
[Verse 2]
D D5 D D5
As I roved along with my hunting song
D G A
And my heart as light as any feather
D5 D D/F# G
I met a pretty maid along the way
D D/F# A G
She was tripping the dew down from the heather
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
And I met a pretty maid along the way
D D/F# A G
She was tripping the dew down from the heather
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
[Verse 3]
D D5 D D5
Where are you going to my pretty fair maid?
D G A
By hill or dale come tell me whether
D5 D D/F# G
Right modestly she answered me
D D/F# A G
To the feeding of my lamb’s together
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
Right modestly she answered me
D D/F# A G
To the feeding of my lamb’s together
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
[Verse 4]
D D5 D D5
Well we both shook hands and down we sat
D G A
For it being the finest day in summer
D5 D D/F# G
And we sat till the red setting beams of the sun
D D/F# A G
Came a-sparkling down among the heather
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
And we sat till the red setting beams of the sun
D D/F# A G
Came a-sparkling down among the heather
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
[Verse 5]
D D5 D D5
Now she says I must away
D G A
For my sheep and lambs have strayed from other
D5 D D/F# G
But I am loath to part from you
D D/F# A G
As those fond lambs are to part their mother
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
But I am loath to part from you
D D/F# A G
As those fond lambs are to part their mother
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
[Verse 6]
D D5 D D5
Up she rose and away she goes
D G A
And her place and name I know not either
D5 D D/F# G
But if I was king I’d make her queen
D D/F# A G
The lass I met among the heather
D5 A D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5 D/F# G A
Over the moor and among the heather
D5 D D/F# G
But if I was king I’d make her queen
D D/F# A G
The lass I met among the heather
D5 A G
And it’s heather on the moor
