Gloomy Winters Noo Awa

Dougie Maclean


Tom: Am

Am
Gloomy winter's now awa
C                 Dm      E7
Soft the westlin' breezes blaw
Am
‘Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw
Dm        Em        Am
The mavis sings fu' cheerie O

[Verse 2]
Am
Sweet the crawflowr's early bell
C                Dm     E7
Decks Glenifer's dewy dell
Am
Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel'
Dm           Em      Am
My young my artless dearie O


[Chorus]
C               G
Come my lassie let us stray
Am                  Em
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae
Am           C         Dm     E7
And blythely spend the gowden day
Am               Em    Am
‘Midst joy thats never wearie O


[Verse 3]
Am
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods
C                 Dm         E7
Lav'rocks fan the snow-white clouds
Am
Siller saughs wi' downy buds
Dm        Em        Am
Adorn the banks saw briery O


[Verse 4]
Am
Round the sylvan fairy nooks
C                 Dm         E7
Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks
Am
‘Neath the brae the burnie jouks
Dm       Em        Am
And ilka thing is cheerie O


[Chorus]
C                 G
Trees may bud and birds may sing
Am                     Em
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring
Am         C       Dm      E7
But joy to me they canna bring
Am         Em      Am
Unless wi' ye my dearie O
