Chords

This is mainly a song for a person with a good voice, the guitar part isn't huge. The chords used are here, I worked from the video Just pick through the chords, make sure the first note is the bass note of the chord and fairly strong. Standard tuning, no capo. Am/D = Am with open D string as th bass note, Am/G = Am with fret 3 of the bottom E string as the bass note. Intro: C Verse 1

        C              C
Oh the summer time is coming

        F                  C
And the trees are sweetly blooming

        F              Am
And the wild mountain thyme

      Am/D               Am/G
Grows around the blooming heather

       C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

Chorus

    F             C
And we'll all go together

        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme

    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather

        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

Verse 2

       C               C
I will build my love a tower

        F              C
By yon' pure crystal fountain

     F           Am
And on it i will build

      Am/D              Am/G
All the flowers of the mountain

        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

Chorus

    F             C
And we'll all go together

        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme

    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather

        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

Here it has an instrumental bit, which uses the same chord pattern as the verse. Verse 3

      C               C
If my true love she were gone

        F            C
I would surely find another

        F              Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme

     Am/D                Am/G
Grows around the blooming heather

      C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

Chorus

    F             C
And we'll all go together

        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme

    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather

        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

    F             C
And we'll all go together

        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme

    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather

        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

            C
End: Let us go, Lassie, go
