Steeleye Span


Tom: A

                                   A
Give me the chance, I'd do it all again

[Verse]
          E                A     E    A
Robbie my love, you've the heart of a dove
                                 D
Only Scotland could raise such a man
       A            D
On the wild mountainside
       A                 D
I have lain down by your side
   Bm           A               D
In spite of the bitter wind and rain
   A            Bm     E        A
In spite of the bitter wind and rain

[Verse]
                    E          A     E          A
These soft southern dogs, have never scaled the heights
                             D
They cower in their comfort, secure
    A               D
But he has dared it all
         A                   D
And he's risked the fearsome fall
       Bm                 A             D
Surely god will crown the brave and the sure
       A                  Bm    E       A
Surely god will crown the brave and the sure

[Verse]
                E          A        E          A
At proud Bannockburn their cringing hearts did turn
                             D
From his noble and daring campaign
          A              D
I watched from a distant hill
       A                    D
And my heart flies with him still
          Bm          A         D
Though my body may be caged and disdained
          A           Bm    E   A
Though my body may be caged and disdained

[Verse]
                  E            A      E    A
He's as bold as a ram, he's as gentle as a lamb
                                 D
He's a man that could never be denied
      A            D
He is generous and gay
         A             D
But he's changeable as day
        Bm                 A               D
And for just one hour with him, I'd gladly die
        A                  Bm       E      A
And for just one hour with him, I'd gladly die

[Verse]
N.C.
I lie in this cage in full public gaze
N.C.
And I don't give a pin for all their scorn
N.C.
For I've crowned my lover king
N.C.
Ah, such glorious days I've seen
N.C.
Give me the chance, I'd do it all again
N.C.
Give me the chance, I'd do it all again
