The Corries – Loch Tay Boat Song (Guitar)

C                          Em  F            G       C      Am
When I've done my work of day and I row my boat away

         F     G        C   Am      Dm                G       G7
Doon the waters o' Loch Tay as the evening light is fadin'

       C                Em           F        G   C      Am
And I look upon Ben Lawers where the after glory glow

      F       G          C     Am     Dm    G       C
And I dream on two bright eyes and the melting mouth below

         F         G       C        Am
She's my beauteous nighean ruach 

         F       G      C      Am
She's my joy and sorrow too

      F          G    C     Am
And although she is untrue

          Dm             G         G7
Ah, but I cannot live without her

       C                 Em     Am
For my heart's a boat in tow

        F        G        Em     Am
And I'd give the world to know

        F        G      C
Why she means to let me go

Am      Dm      G     C
As I sing horee, horo

C                          Em            F       G    C      Am
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair has more glamour I declare

     F       G       C    Am   Dm            G       G7 
Than all the tresses rare from Killen to Aberfeldy

        C                      Em           F       G        C      Am
Be they lint, white, brown, or gold be they blacker than the sloe

          F       G        C  Am     Dm    G         C
They have no more worth to me than a meltin flake o' snow

        F        G        C       Am
And her dance is like the gleam

         F        G      C       Am
O'er the sunlight on the stream

        F         G       C
And the songs the faeries sing

Am         Dm                 G       G7
Seems like songs she sings at milkin'

       C                Em     
But my heart is full of woe

         F        G        Em       Am
For last night she bade me go

        F        G      C
And the tears begin to flow

Am   Dm     G      C
As I sing horee, horo
