verse 1
C F C F
Of a' the airts the wind can blaw,
C Dm7 G7
I dearly like the west,
C F C F
For there the bonie lassie lives,
C D7 G7
The lassie I lo'e best:
C F C Am
There's wild-woods grow, and rivers row,
F G
And mony a hill between:
C F C F
But day and night my fancys' flight
C G7 C
Is ever wi' my Jean.
verse 2
C F C F
I see her in the dewy flowers,
C Dm7 G7
I see her sweet and fair:
C F C F
I hear her in the tunefu' birds,
C D7 G7
I hear her charm the air:
C F C Am
There's not a bonie flower that springs,
F G
By fountain, shaw, or green;
C F C F
There's not a bonie bird that sings,
C G7 C
But minds me o' my Jean.
