Dm                               C
How often haunting the highest hilltops

  Am       Dm                 Am
I scan the ocean i search the sea

     C      Dm              C      F  C
Wilt come tonight love wilt come tomorrow

     Am   Dm   C       Am      Dm
Wilt ever come love to comfort me?
[Chorus]
C       F             C
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

Am      Dm            Am
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

fare thee well love where e'er you be
[Verse 2]
Dm                                   C
They call thee fickle they call thee false one

    Am     Dm                 Am
And try to turn me but all in vain

    C        Dm           C           F    C
For thou art my dream all through the dark night

    Am    Dm   C    Am       Dm
And every morning i scan the sea
[Chorus]
C       F             C

[Verse 3]
Dm                              C
There's not a hamlet too well i know it

      Am     Dm                 Am
Where you go wandering or sit a while

    C       Dm            C   F  C
But all the old folks you win by talking

    Am        Dm  C        Am       Dm
And charm its maidens with song and smile
[Chorus]
C       F             C
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

Am      Dm            Am
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

C       Dm       C    F   C
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

Am        Dm   C          Am       Dm
fare thee well love where e'er you be
[Verse 4]
Dm                          C
Do you remember the promise made me

    Am     Dm                  Am
The tartan plaidie the silken gown

    C       Dm           C         F  C
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?

     Am       Dm   C      Am    Dm
That ring and gown I will never know
[Chorus]
C       F             C
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

Am      Dm            Am
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

C       Dm       C    F   C
fhear a bhata no horo eil'e

Am        Dm   C          Am       Dm
fare thee well love where e'er you be

          Dm   C          Am       Dm
fare thee well love where e'er you be
