Based on Bill Nighy's version of the traditional Scottish song from the movie 'Living' Play freely (and add frills if you like) [Verse 1]
   D           D
Oh rowan tree, oh rowan tree

G              G       D
Thou'lt aye be dear to me

D                 D     G  D
Entwined thou art wi' many ties

   A          D
Of hame and infancy

    D                   G
Thy leaves were aye the first of spring

     D                   A
Thy flowers the summer's pride

       D      D      G      D
There was nae such a bonnie tree

    A               D
In all the country side
[Verse 2]
    D                  D
How fair were thou in summer time

     G       G          D
With all thy clusters white

D             D        G     D
How rich and gay thy autumn dress,

    A                D
Wi' berries red and bright.

    D                    G
On thy fair stem were many names

      D              A
Which now no more I see

     D       D       G      D
But they're engraven on my heart,

   A                  D
Forgot they ne'er can be
[Verse 3]
   D                    D
We sat beneath thy spreadin' shade

    G      G           D
The bairns around thee ran

     D          D      G        D
They pull'd thy bonnie berries red,

      A                D
And necklaces they strang

   D                      G
My mother, oh! I see her still,

     D                   A
She smiled our sports to see

     D         D    G      D
With little Jeannie on her lap,

    A             D
And Jamie on her knee.
