G D
How often haunting the highest hilltops
Em Bm
I scan the ocean i sail tae sea
C G D
Wilt come tonight love wilt come tomorrow
Em D C
Wilt ever come love to comfort me?
[Chorus]
G D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
Em Bm
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
C G D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
Em D C
Oh fare thee well love where e'er you be
[Verse 2]
G D
They call thee fickle they call thee false one
Em Bm
And seek tae change me but all in vain
C G D
For thou art my dream a through the dark night
Em D C
And every morning I watch the wind
[Chorus]
G D
Fear a bhata no horo eil'e...
[Verse 3]
G D
There's not a hamlet too well I know it
Em Bm
Where you go wandering or set a while
C G D
But all its old folks you win wi' talking
Em D C
And charm it's maidens with song and smile
[Chorus]
G D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e...
[Verse 4]
G D
Dost thou remember the promise made me
Em Bm
The tartan plaidie the silken gown
C G D
The ring of gold with thy hair and portrait?
Em D C
That gown and ring I will never know
[Chorus]
G D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
Em Bm
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
C G D
Fhear a bhata no horo eil'e
Em D C
Oh fare thee well love where e'er you be
