Lyrics with chords

C By yon bonnie banks, and by Am yon bonnie Dm braes,

where the G7 sun shines bright on Loch C Lomon',

where me and my true love were Am ever wont to Dm gae,

on the F bonnie, bonnie G7 banks Loch C Lomon'.

Oh, ye'll tak' the high road, and Am I'll tak' the Dm low road,

an' I'll G7 be in Scotland aC fore ye;

but me and my true love will Am never meet aDm gain

on the F bonnie, bonnie G7 banks o' Loch C Lomon'.
