Loch Tay Boat Song chords by The Corries

Chords with lyrics

C majorC             E minorEm FF      G+G    C majorC
When I've done my work of day and I row my boat away
A minorAm    FF   G+G    C majorC  A minorAm   DmDm        G+G
Doon the waters o' Loch Tay as the evening light is fadin'
G7G7   C majorC        E minorEm      FF    G+G  C majorC
And I look upon Ben Lawers where the after glory glow
A minorAm   FF    G+G     C majorC   A minorAm   DmDm  G+G    C majorC
And I dream on two bright eyes and the melting mouth below

FF     G+G    C majorC
She's my beauteous nighean ruach [nighean ruach = red-haired lass - pronounced neon roe]
A minorAm    FF    G+G   C majorC
She's my joy and sorrow too
A minorAm   FF    G+G    C majorC
And although she is untrue
A minorAm     DmDm       G+G
Ah, but I cannot live without her
G7G7   C majorC        E minorEm
For my heart's a boat in tow
A minorAm    FF    G+G    E minorEm
And I'd give the world to know
A minorAm   FF    G+G   C majorC
Why she means to let me go
A minorAm   DmDm   G+G   C majorC
As I sing horee, horo

C majorC             E minorEm      FF    G+G  C majorC
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair has more glamour I declare
   A minorAm   FF    G+G     C majorC   A minorAm DmDm    G+G
Than all the tresses rare from Killen to Aberfeldy
G7G7   C majorC            E minorEm     FF   G+G    C majorC
Be they lint, white, brown, or gold be they blacker than the sloe
A minorAm    FF   G+G    C majorC    A minorAm   DmDm  G+G    C majorC
They have no more worth to me than a meltin flake o' snow

    FF    G+G    C majorC
And her dance is like the gleam
A minorAm    FF    G+G   C majorC
O'er the sunlight on the stream
A minorAm   FF    G+G    C majorC
And the songs the faeries sing
A minorAm     DmDm          G+G
Seems like songs she sings at milkin'
G7G7   C majorC        E minorEm
But my heart is full of woe
A minorAm    FF    G+G    E minorEm
For last night she bade me go
A minorAm   FF    G+G   C majorC
And the tears begin to flow
A minorAm   DmDm   G+G   C majorC
As I sing horee, horo
