Silly Wizard – Loch Tay Boat Song chords

G                          Bm  C            D       GWhen I've done the work of day and I row my boat away
Em       C     D        G   Em      Am                DDown the waters of Loch Tay when the evening light is fallin'
D7     G                Bm              C      D       GThen I look towards Ben Lawers where the afterglories glow
Em     C       D         G     Em     Am    D       GAnd I dream on two bright eyes with a merry mouth below

C         D       GSheUs my beauteous nighean ruach [nighean ruach = red-haired lass]
Em       C       D      GShe's my joy and sorrow too
Em     C       D        GThough I own she is not true
Em         Am             DAh, but I cannot live without her
D7      G                BmFor my heart's a boat in tow
Em       C        D        BmAnd I'd give the world to know
Em      C        D      GIf she means to let me go
Em      Am      D     GAs she sings horee horo

G                          Bm            C      D GNighean ruach, your lovely hair has more beauty I declare
     Em      C       D         G      Em Am        DThan all the tresses fair from Killen to Aberfeldy
D7      G                       Bm          C      D       GBe they lint, white, gold or brown, be they blacker than the sloe
Em        C      D       G       Em      Am    D       GThey mean not as much to me as a meltin' flake of snow

        C        D        GAnd her dance is like the gleam
Em       C       D      GOf the sunlight on the stream
Em     C       D        GAnd the songs the wee folk sing
Em         Am             DAh, they're the songs she sings at milkin'
D7      G                BmBut my heart is full of woe
Em       C        D        BmFor last night she bade me go
Em      C        D      GAnd the tears begin to flow
Em      Am      D     GAs I sing horee horo
