CAPO: 2nd Fret



INTRO: G+G   C majorC G+G C majorC

  G+G     B minorBm   C majorC     G+G
How Blithe was I each morning to see
           C majorC D MajorD
My love came o'er the hills
  G+G      B minorBm    C majorC   G+G
She skipped the burn and ran to me
 A minorAm        D MajorD
I met her with goodwill

  G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    G+G
We neither herded ewes nor lamb
             C majorC D MajorD
While the flocks near us lay
  G+G    B minorBm   C majorC    G+G
She gathered in the sheep at night
  A minorAm          D MajorD
And cheered me all of the day


CHORUS:
G+G    B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
            C majorC  D MajorD
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G+G     B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
A minorAm          D MajorD
Herding her father's ewes


  G+G     B minorBm    C majorC    G+G
She tuned her pipe and reed so sweet
             C majorC D MajorD
The birds stood listening by__
  G+G    B minorBm     C majorC     G+G
And even the dull cattle stood and gazed
A minorAm          D MajorD
Charmed with her melody

   G+G     B minorBm    C majorC    G+G
Hard fate that I should banished be
            C majorC D MajorD
Gone way over hill and moor
 G+G    B minorBm    C majorC    G+G
Because I loved the fairest lass
   A minorAm      D MajorD
That ever yet was born


CHORUS:
G+G    B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
            C majorC  D MajorD
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G+G      B minorBm    C majorC    G+G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
A minorAm          D MajorD
Herding her father's ewes


INSTRUMENTAL: G+G C majorC G+G  C majorC D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G A minorAm D MajorD


 G+G    B minorBm  C majorC    G+G
Adieu, ye Cowdenknowes, adieu
              C majorC D MajorD
Farewell all your pleasures there
  G+G   B minorBm   C majorC   G+G
To wander by her side again
  A minorAm       D MajorD
Is all I crave or care


CHORUS:
G+G    B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
            C majorC  D MajorD
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G+G     B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
A minorAm          D MajorD
Herding her father's ewes


CHORUS:
G+G    B minorBm     C majorC       G+G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
            C majorC  D MajorD
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
 G+G   B minorBm     C majorC    G+G
I wish I were in the Old Country
A minorAm          D MajorD
Herding her father's ewes
