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
