Ye Banks and Braes
D A D G
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
D G D A
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
D A D G
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
D G A7 D
And I'm sae weary, fu' o' care
D
Thou'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
D Em A7
That wantons through the flow'ring thorn,
D A D G
Thou minds me o' departed joys,
D G A7 D
Departed never to return.
D A D G
Oft ha'e I roved by bonnie Doon,
D G D A
To see the rose and woodbine twine
D A D G
And ilka bird sang o' its luve,
D G A7 D
And fondly sae did I o' mine.
D
Wi' lightsome heart I pu'd a rose,
D Em A7
Fu' sweet upon its thorny tree
D A D G
And may fause lover staw my rose,
D G A7 D
But ah! he left the thorn wi’ me.
