Loch Tay Boat Song

Capo 3 G Bm When I've done my work of day C D G Em And I row my boat away C D G Em Doon the waters o' Loch Tay Am D D7 As the evening light is fadin' G Bm And I look upon Ben Lawers C D G Em Where the after glory glows C D G Em And I think on two bright eyes Am D G And the melting mouth below C D G Em She's my beauteous nighean ruach C D G Em She's my joy and sorrow too C D G Em And although she is untrue Am D D7 Ah, but I cannot live without her G Bm For my heart's a boat in tow C D Em And I'd give the world to know C D G Em Why she means to let me go Am D G As I sing horee, horo G Bm Nighean ruach, your lovely hair C D G Em Has more glamour I declare C D G Em Than all the tresses rare Am D D7 From Killen to Aberfeldy G Bm Be they lint, white, brown, or gold C D G Em Be they blacker than the sloe C D G Em They have no more worth to me Am D G Than a meltin flake o' snow C D G Em And her eyes are like the gleam C D G Em O' the sunlight on the stream C D G Em And the songs the faeries sing Am D D7 Seem like songs she sings at milkin' G Bm But my heart is full of woe C D Em For last night she bade me go C D G Em And the tears begin to flow Am D G As I sing horee, horo C D G Em She's my beauteous nighean ruach C D G Em She's my joy and sorrow too C D G Em And although she is untrue Am D D7 Ah, but I cannot live without her G Bm For my heart's a boat in tow C D Em And I'd give the world to know C D G Em Why she means to let me go Am D G As I sing horee, horo
