Fear A Bhata The Boatman

Tom: G

          G                    D
How often haunting the highest hilltops
           Em               Bm
I scan the ocean i sail tae sea
             C                   G    D
Wilt come tonight love wilt come tomorrow
           Em          D       C
Wilt ever come love to comfort me?


[Chorus]
        G             D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
        Em            Bm
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
        C             G   D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
             Em              D        C
Oh fare thee well love where e'er you be


[Verse 2]
               G                     D
They call thee fickle they call thee false one
             Em                   Bm
And seek tae change me but all in vain
                C                   G    D
For thou art my dream a through the dark night
          Em        D         C
And every morning I watch the wind


[Chorus]
       G             D
Fear a bhata no horo eil'e...


[Verse 3]
              G                 D
There's not a hamlet too well I know it
             Em                 Bm
Where you go wandering or set a while
            C                     G   D
But all its old folks you win wi' talking
               Em           D        C
And charm it's maidens with song and smile


[Chorus]
        G             D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e...


[Verse 4]
            G                  D
Dost thou remember the promise made me
           Em                 Bm
The tartan plaidie the silken gown
            C                      G  D
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?
              Em          D     C
That gown and ring I will never know


[Chorus]
        G             D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
        Em            Bm
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
        C             G   D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
             Em              D        C
Oh fare thee well love where e'er you be
