Chords with lyrics

E MajorE        A augmentedA      BB        E MajorE
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
  E MajorE         A augmentedA            E MajorE          BB
And one could tell by how he walked that he’d drunk more than his share
  A augmentedA        E MajorE        A augmentedA        B?
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
    E MajorE       A augmentedA        BB        E?
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
A augmentedA           A augmentedA    E MajorE        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
  E MajorE       A augmentedA        BB        E?
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

 E MajorE         A augmentedA        BB          E MajorE
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
  E MajorE        A augmentedA      E MajorE       B?
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA          BB
?See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
 E MajorE       A augmentedA          BB        E?
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt
A augmentedA           A augmentedA    E MajorE        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E MajorE       A augmentedA          BB        E?
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt

   E MajorE        A augmentedA         BB       E MajorE
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
E MajorE       A augmentedA       E MajorE         BB
?Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
  A augmentedA        E MajorE      A augmentedA          BB
?And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
  E MajorE         A augmentedA         BB       E MajorE
?Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
A augmentedA           A augmentedA    E MajorE        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
  E MajorE         A augmentedA         BB       E?
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

   E MajorE       A augmentedA        BB        E MajorE
They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
   E MajorE        A augmentedA       E MajorE       BB
?Let’s leave a present for our friend before we move along
   A augmentedA        E MajorE        A augmentedA      B?
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
 E MajorE        A augmentedA       BB         E?
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
A augmentedA           A augmentedA    E MajorE        BB
?Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E MajorE        A augmentedA       BB         E MajorE
?Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show

    E MajorE        A augmentedA         BB          E MajorE
Now the Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled toward the trees
 E MajorE       A augmentedA         E MajorE        B?
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
  A augmentedA       E MajorE        A augmentedA         BB
?And in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes
 E MajorE        A augmentedA          BB         E?
O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
A augmentedA           A augmentedA    E MajorE        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E MajorE        A augmentedA          BB         E MajorE
?O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
