Scythe Song chords by Dougie Maclean

Verse:
G    C                     G
I still remember when I first watched him work the blade
          C                    G
It was down in the Buckney den my questions tumbled and he said
Am     C
Oh this is not a thing to learn inside a day
Am       C               D
 Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way

Chorus:
       C                   G
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
      C                     G
Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found
C           G
Then you'll know what I know

Verse:
        C                     G
Oh wild are the ways we run when at last untethered out we fly
         C                  G
Straight into the burning sun need no direction no not I
Am     C
But it is not a thing to learn inside a day
Am       C               D
 Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way

Chorus:
       C                   G
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
      C                     G
Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found
C           G
Then you'll know what I know

Verse:
     C                    G
So little dancing girl you want to learn to play a tune
       C                     G
One that your heart can fill to help you shine under the moon
Am     C
Well it is not a thing to learn inside a day
Am       C               D
 Stand closely by me and I'll try to show the way

Chorus:
       C                   G
You've got to hold it right feel the distance to the ground
      C                     G
Move with a touch so light until it's rhythm you have found
C           G
