By Yon Castle Wall(Chords)

	        
verse 1 
   Dm         C           Am           C 
By yon castle wa' at the close of the day, 
  Dm          Am             Dm      C   Dm 
I heard a man sing, tho' his head it was grey, 
    F                      C 
And as he was singing, the tears doon came: 
          Dm       Am          Dm    C    Dm 
'There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame!' 

verse 2 
     Dm           C           Am         C 
'The Church is in ruins, the State is in jars, 
  Dm          Am            Dm   C    Dm 
Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars, 
    F                          C 
We dare na weel say it, but we ken wha's to blame 
          Dm       Am         Dm     C    Dm 
'There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame!' 

verse 3 
    Dm         C         Am         C 
'My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword, 
    Dm          Am                Dm   C      Dm 
But now I greet round their green beds in the yard; 
    F                          C 
It broke the sweet heart o' my faithfu' auld dame 
          Dm       Am         Dm     C    Dm 
'There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame!' 

verse 4 
      Dm       C           Am      C 
'Now life is a burden that bows me down, 
     Dm       Am            Dm      C   Dm 
Sin I tint my bairnies, and he tint his crown; 
    F                       C 
But till my last moments my words are the same 
          Dm       Am         Dm     C    Dm 
'There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame!'
