Loch Tay Boat Song(Chords)

	        


          G               Bm 
When I've done my work of day  
      C      D     G     Em 
And I row my boat away 
         C      D       G    Em 
Doon the waters o' Loch Tay 
       Am               D       D7 
As the evening light is fadin' 
      G             Bm 
And I look upon Ben Lawers 
          C     D     G      Em 
Where the after glory glows 
      C        D          G     Em 
And I think on two bright eyes  
        Am      D       G 
And the melting mouth below 




         C         D       G      Em 
She's my beauteous nighean ruach 
         C       D      G     Em 
She's my joy and sorrow too 
      C          D     G     Em 
And although she is untrue 
          Am             D         D7 
Ah, but I cannot live without her 
       G                 Bm 
For my heart's a boat in tow 
        C        D        Em 
And I'd give the world to know 
        C        D      G    Em 
Why she means to let me go 
     Am      D     G 
As I sing horee, horo 



        G                  Bm 
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair  
         C       D     G     Em 
Has more glamour I declare 
     C       D       G    Em 
Than all the tresses rare 
        Am          D       D7 
From Killen to Aberfeldy 
        G                      Bm 
Be they lint, white, brown, or gold 
        C       D        G      Em 
Be they blacker than the sloe 
          C       D        G     Em 
They have no more worth to me  
       Am     D        G 
Than a meltin flake o' snow 



        C        D        G       Em 
And her eyes are like the gleam 
       C        D      G       Em 
O' the sunlight on the stream 
        C         D       G      Em 
And the songs the faeries sing 
          Am                 D      D7 
Seem like songs she sings at milkin' 
       G                Bm 
But my heart is full of woe 
         C         D       Em 
For last night she bade me go 
        C        D     G     Em 
And the tears begin to flow 
     Am      D     G 
As I sing horee, horo 



         C         D       G      Em 
She's my beauteous nighean ruach 
         C       D      G     Em 
She's my joy and sorrow too 
      C          D     G     Em 
And although she is untrue 
          Am             D         D7 
Ah, but I cannot live without her 
       G                 Bm 
For my heart's a boat in tow 
        C        D        Em 
And I'd give the world to know 
        C        D      G    Em 
Why she means to let me go 
     Am      D     G 
As I sing horee, horo
