Dm C Am F [Intro] Dm C Am C Dm C Dm C Dm [Verse 1] Dm C Am C By yon Castle wa', at the close of the day, Dm C Dm C Dm I heard a man sing tho' his head it was grey; F C Am And as he was singing, the tears doon came, Dm Am Dm C Dm There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. [Verse 2] Dm C Am C The Church is in ruins, the State is in jars, Dm C Dm C Dm Delusions, oppressions, and murderous wars: F C Am We dare na weel say't, but we ken wha's to blame, Dm Am Dm C Dm There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. [Verse 3] Dm C Am C My seven braw sons for Jamie drew sword, Dm C Dm C Dm But now I greet round their green beds in the yerd; F C Am It brak the sweet heart o' my faithful auld Dame, Dm Am Dm C Dm There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame. [Verse 4] Dm C Am C Now life is a burden that bows me down, Dm C Dm C Dm Sin I tint my bairns, and he tint his crown; F C Am But till my last moments my words are the same, Dm Am Dm C Dm There'll never be peace till Jamie comes hame.
