Misc Traditional – Ae Fond Kiss (Guitar)

C                 F       Am
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever

F                 G       C
Ae farewell, and then forever

F                   C          Am
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,

C       Am        G                C
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.

C                  F       Am
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,

F                  G        C
While the star of hope she leaves him

F               C       Am
Me nae cheerful twinkle lights me,

C       Am      G     C
Dark despair around benights me.

C                    F      Am
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy:

F               G       C
Nothing could resist my Nancy

F              C      Am
But to see her was to love her

C        Am       G         C
Love but her, and love for ever.

C            F         Am
Had we never loved sae kindly,

F             G         C
Had we never loved sae blindly,

F              C     Am
Never met - or never parted -

C      Am         G      C
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.

C                    F         Am
Fare thee weel, thou first and fairest

F                     G        C
Fare thee weel, thou best and dearest

F             C       Am
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,

C      Am         G            C
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure

C                 F       Am
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever

F             G         C
Ae farewell, alas, for ever

F                   C          Am
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,

C       Am        G                C
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
