Hmm... Those chords don't do it from me... I played along with my copy of Hamish' version, and came up with these. For the talking bits, alternate between [Em] and [A]. Mr. Imlach only needs one [A] but I cannae talk that fast... http://www.myspace.com/lookinforalumber http://www.theballadeers.com/scots/hi_01.htm
