Tom: C
C Am F G
O wither away, my bonnie May
C Am F G
Sae late an' sae far in the gloam-in'
F Am F G
The mist gathers grey o'er moorland and brae
C Am G C
O wither sae far are ye roam-in'?
[Chorus]
C Am F G
O ye'll tak' the high road, an’ I'll tak' the low
C Am F G
I'll be in Scotland before ye
F Am F G
For me and my true love will never meet again
C Am G C
By the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mond
[Verse 2]
C Am F G
O well may I weep for yestreen in my sleep
C Am F G
We stood bride and bridegroom toge-ther
F Am F G
But his arms and his breath were as cold as the death
C Am G C
And his heart's blood ran red on the heather
[Verse 3]
C Am F G
I trusted my ain love last night in the broom
C Am F G
My Donald wha' loves me sae dear-ly
F Am F G
For the morrow he will march for Edinburgh toon,
C Am G C
Tae fecht for his King and Prince Charlie
[Chorus]
C Am F G
O ye'll tak' the high road, an’ I'll tak' the low
C Am F G
I'll be in Scotland before ye
F Am F G
For me and my true love will never meet again
C Am G C
By the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mond
[Verse 4]
C Am F G
As dauntless in battle as tender in love
C Am F G
He'd yield ne'er a foot tae the foe-man
F Am F G
But never again frae the field o' the slain
C Am G C
Tae his Moira will he come by Loch Lo-mond
[Verse 5]
C Am F G
The thistle may bloom, the King hae his ain
C Am F G
And fond lovers will meet in the gloam-in'
F Am F G
And me and my true love will yet meet again
C Am F G
Far above the bonnie banks of Loch Lo-mond
[Chorus]
C Am F G
O ye'll tak' the high road, an’ I'll tak' the low
C Am F G
I'll be in Scotland before ye
F Am F G
For me and my true love will never meet again
C Am G C
By the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mond
