Tom: G

   G        Em   C      G
Go bring to me a pint o wine,
    C       Em   Am     D
And fill it in a silver tassie;
G          Em     C        G
That I may drink, before I go,
  C       Em    Am     D
A service to my bonnie lassie:

[Chorus]

    G          Em     C       G
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
    C        Em         Am        D
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
    G          Em     C       D
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
    C      Em       Am     D
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.

[Verse 2]

    G        Em     C           G
The trumpets sound, the banner flares,
    C          Em          Am         D
The glittering spears are ranked and ready,
    G         Em      C      G
The sounds o' war are heard afar,
    C      Em     Am       D
The battle rages deep and bloody.

[Chorus]

    G          Em     C       G
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
    C        Em         Am        D
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
    G          Em     C       D
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
    C      Em       Am      D
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.

[Verse 3]

     G       Em      C      G
It's not the roar o' sea or shore,
    C       Em        Am      D
Wad make me want tae langer tarry;
    G         Em         C      G
Nor sounds o' war that's heard afar-
      C      Em       Am      D
It's leaving thee, my bonnie Mary!

[Chorus]

    G          Em     C       G
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
    C        Em         Am        D
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
    G          Em     C       D
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
    C      Em       Am     D
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.

[Verse 4]

    G        Em   C      G
Gae bring to me a pint o wine,
    C       Em    Am     D
And fill it in a silver tassie;
 G          Em     C       G
That I may drink, before I go,
  C       Em    Am     D
A service to my bonnie lassie:

[Chorus]

    G          Em     C       G
The boat rocks at the Pier o' Leith,
    C        Em         Am        D
Fu' loud the wind blaws frae the Ferry,
    G          Em     C       D
The ship rides by the Berwick-law,
    C      Em       Am    D
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.
    C      Em       Am    D
And I maun leave my bonnie Mary.
