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.
