The Gloaming Hour

Em/G Am6/F# Em

[VERSE 1]
Em
Ken ye the gloaming hour
D
Doon by the willows weeping
Em
Doon whaur the broon trout's rising
C                D
Ripples o'er the burn
Em
Can you hear the bonnie lark
D
Ca'ing o'er the blooming heather
Em
Paths we yince walked together
C    D     Em
Ever tae return

[CHORUS]
    G
And Oh, can ye hear the singing
D
A' through the wild woods ringing
Em         C
'Gang ye awa
D           G        Gsus4/C G/B
Never tae return? '
 Am6 Em


[VERSE 2]
Em
Can you feel immortal spring
D
Stir the breeze o' Balimeanach
Em
Where the towers o' Ben Vorlich
C              D
Water loch and glen
Continues after the ad
Em
Here in the summer splendour
D
Flowers o' every hue and colour
Em
One for every day remembered
C     D    Em
Never to return

[CHORUS]
    G
And Oh, can ye hear the singing
D
A' through the wild woods ringing
Em         C
'Gang ye awa
D           G      Gsus4/C G/B 
Never tae return? '
Am6 Em


[VERSE 3]
Em
By the 'lady's silver strand
D
Autumn breathes o'er a' the land
Em
The lapwing pleads, the hawk 
commands
C               D
Let the tide be turned
Em
Here in the winter's blast
D
Gone is the flower o' Edinbra
Em
Gone aye and gone forever
C    D     Em
Ever tae return

[CHORUS]
    G
And Oh, can ye hear the singing
D
A' through the wild woods ringing
Em         C
'Gang ye awa
D           G      Gsus4/C G/B 
Never tae return? '
Am6 Em


[VIOLIN G  O] (same chords as verse 
and Chorus)

[VERSE]
Em
And there in the dusk and dawn
D
Ever will he walk the heather
Em
Never will we walk together
C                 D
O'er the lands we love
Em
Softly silent falls the snow
D
Slays spring's sweet sister summer
Em
Autumn falls beloved brother
C       D        Em
Tae the gloaming hour

[CHORUS]
    G
And Oh, can ye hear the singing
D
A' through the wild woods ringing
Em         C
'Gang ye awa
D           G
Never tae return? '
