Loch Tay Boat Song

G                          Bm  C
When I've done the work of day 
            D       G
and I row my boat away
Em       C     D        G   Em
Down the waters of Loch Tay 
      Am                D
when the evening light is fallin'
D7     G                Bm      
Then I look towards Ben Lawers 
        C      D       G
where the afterglories glow
Em     C       D         G     
And I dream on two bright eyes 
Em     Am    D       G
with a merry mouth below

C         D       G
SheUs my beauteous nighean ruach 
[nighean ruach = red-haired lass]
Em       C       D      G
She's my joy and sorrow too
Em     C       D        G
Though I own she is not true
Em         Am             D
Ah, but I cannot live without her
D7      G                Bm
For my heart's a boat in tow

Em       C        D        Bm
And I'd give the world to know
Em      C        D      G
If she means to let me go
Em      Am      D     G
As she sings horee horo

G                          Bm    
Nighean ruach, your lovely hair 
        C      D G
has more beauty I declare
     Em      C       D      
Than all the tresses fair from 
   G      Em Am        D
Killen to Aberfeldy
D7      G                       
Be they lint, white, gold or 
Bm          C      D       G
brown, be they blacker than the sloe
Em        C      D       G      
They mean not as much to me as a
 Em      Am    D       G
 meltin' flake of snow

        C        D        G
And her dance is like the gleam
Em       C       D      G
Of the sunlight on the stream
Em     C       D        G
And the songs the wee folk sing
Em         Am             D
Ah, they're the songs she sings at 
milkin'
D7      G                Bm
But my heart is full of woe
Em       C        D        Bm
For last night she bade me go
Em      C        D      G
And the tears begin to flow
Em      Am      D     G
As I sing horee horo
