The Weavers

[INTRO:] C

[VERSE 1:]
                               F   
We're all met together here to sit 
       C
and to crack
Wi' our glasses in our hands and our
 F             G
 work upon our back
        C                          
There's nae a trade among 'em that 
    F           C
can mend or can mak
If it was'nae for the work of the 
G  C
weavers


[CHORUS:]
                      G        Am 
If it was'nae for the weavers, 
            Em
what would you do
   F             C              F
Ya would'nae hae clothes that's 
          G
made outta wool
   C               G           F 
Ya would'nae hae a coat o' the 
           C
black or the blue
If it was'nae for the work of the 
G  C
weavers


[VERSE 2:]
                             F     
Some folk are independent of other 
            C
tradesmen's work
                             F     
The women need no barber and dykers
         G
 need no cleft
    C                             
But none of them can do without a 
F         C
coat or a sack

   C               G           F 
Ya would'nae hae a coat o' the 
           C

If it was'nae for the work of the 
G  C

[VERSE 3:]
There's soldiers and there's sailors
     F            C
 and glaziers and all
There's doctors and there's 
              F                 G
ministers and them that live by law
        C                        
And our friends in Sooth America, 
        F             C
though them we never saw
But we ken they wear the work of the
 G  C
 weavers


[CHORUS:]
                      G        Am 
If it was'nae for the weavers, 
            Em
what would you do
   F             C              F
Ya would'nae hae clothes that's 
          G
made outta wool
   C               G           F 
Ya would'nae hae a coat o' the 
           C
black or the blue
If it was'nae for the work of the 
G  C

[VERSE 3:]
                            F    
The weavin' is a trade that never 
     C
can fail
As long as we need clothes for to 
F            G
keep another hale
   C                          F   
So let us all be merry o'er a 
           C
bicker o' good ale
And we'll drink to the health of the
 G  C
 weavers


[CHORUS:]

If it was'nae for the weavers,
