Loch Lomond

Scottish (late 1800’s)

 C                       Am                      F              

By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes

                      C              Am                       G

Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond,

                F                   Am                    F                      G

Where me and my true love were ever wont to be,

                 C                       Am                       G                               C

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo         -             mond.

                C                   Am                F            

'Twas then that we parted, in yon shady glen

                 C                   Am                     G

On the steep, steep side of Ben Lomond,

         F                     Am               F                           G                               

Where in purple hue, the Highland hills we view

                    C                   Am                 G(1/2)               C(x2)

And the moon coming out in the gloam      -            ing.

Chorus

             C                   Am                    F                  

The wee birdies sing, and the wildflowers spring

                C                  Am                   G

And in sunshine the waters are sleeping,

                     F                        Am          F                       G                                

But the broken heart will ken no second spring again,

                   C                   Am                          G    C

Tho' the woeful may cease frae their grieving.

Chorus
