Intro:
D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA

Verse:

A augmentedA                 D MajorD
The West winds blow to Coshieville


            A augmentedA
And with the winds came we


  E7E7       A augmentedA
And where the river hugs the wood

  D MajorD          A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
And Blackthorns bloom in May, there stood


 B7B7      E MajorE
A augmentedA single Rowan Tree


D MajorD          A augmentedA      E7E7
So young and tender, so were you


           A augmentedA
I loved you both, as there you grew


  D MajorD       A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
The day I took the road that leads


  B minorBm   E7E7   A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD
By Rannoch to the sea


Verse:

A augmentedA
We carved our names in Coshieville


  D MajorD         A augmentedA
The Rowan leaves were still

    E7E7         A augmentedA
But the darkening West was in your eyes


  D MajorD        A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
Despite your kisses and my lies


  B7B7            E MajorE
My thoughts had crossed the hill


 D MajorD            A augmentedA
I broke your heart as the minutes passed


 E7E7           A augmentedA
I shrugged and said that nothing lasts


  D MajorD         A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
But many the backward glance I cast


   B minorBm    E7E7   A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA
As I went North to the drill


Verse:

A augmentedA
The big wheels rumble up and down


  D MajorD        A augmentedA
The lorries know the way


 E7E7        A augmentedA
I waved my hand, I hitched a ride


  D MajorD           A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
We crossed the bridge at Rannoch-side


     B7B7      E MajorE
Where the diesel motors play


D MajorD           A augmentedA
Then I set myself to a cliff of stone


  E7E7             A augmentedA
My ears to the boring-hammer's drone


    D MajorD       A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
But the ache inside, I rued alone


  B minorBm   E7E7  A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA
For you were far away


Verse:

A augmentedA
But the money moved from Erichts Loch


    D MajorD          A augmentedA
And the Great Glen beckoned on


  E7E7      A augmentedA
At Norriston the hills grew pale


  D MajorD            A augmentedA   F# minorF#m
We fought and drank through old Kintail


     B7B7       E MajorE
Till our money soon was gone


   D MajorD          A augmentedA
And I curse Loch Aweside's autumn rain


  E7E7          A augmentedA
The winter whiskey in Dunblane


     D MajorD           A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
Till the west winds rose in the spring again


    B minorBm     E7E7   A augmentedA   D MajorD A augmentedA  D MajorD A augmentedA
And my heart leapt at its song


Verse:

A augmentedA
Then I came at last to Coshieville


    D MajorD      A augmentedA   E7E7
With a dozen hills aflame


        A augmentedA
You had another hand to hold


 D MajorD         A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
Beneath the names we carved of old


   B7B7     E MajorE
There was another name


  D MajorD           A augmentedA    F# minorF#m
You looked me through, you made no sign


 B minorBm     E7E7      A augmentedA
I drank that cup of bitter wine


  D MajorD        A augmentedA     F# minorF#m
For well we knew the fault was mine


   B minorBm    E7E7   A augmentedA   D MajorD  A augmentedA  D MajorD  A augmentedA
And I went the road I came
