Sir James The Rose

    G
Oh, have you heard Sir James the 
Rose
    D
The young heir of Loch Laggan
    Am              Em

And his friends are out to take him

[Verse]
    G
And he's gone to the House of Marr
    D
The Nurse there did befriend him
    Am           Em
And he has gone upon his knees
    C                 D
And begged for her to hide him

But now I'm under hiding"

"Where shall I go? Where shall I

Where shall I go for to hide me?
C   G      D        G       C   Am
For I have killed a gallant squire
            G       D      C    
And they're seeking for to slay 
G/B Am G
me"

[Verse]
        G
Then he turned him right and round 
about
    D
And rolled him in the bracken
    Am             Em
And he has gone to take a sleep
       C                D
In the lowlands of Loch Laggan

[Verse]
   G
He had not well gone out of sight
    D
Nor was he past Milstrethen

When four-and-twenty belted knights

Came riding o'er the leathen

"You'll see the bank above the mill
       D
In the lowlands of Loch Laggan
    Am                    Em
And there you'll find Sir James the 
Rose
C               D
Sleeping in the bracken"

[Verse]
     G
"You must not wake him out of sleep
    D
Nor yet must you afright him
     Am               Em
Just run a dart right through his 
heart
    C                D
And through the body pierce him"

In the lowlands of Loch Laggan

Then up and spake Sir John the 
Graeme
    D
Who had the charge a-keeping
       Am                  Em
"It'll never be said, dear gentleman
   C                     D
We killed him while he's sleeping"

[Verse]
     G
They seized his broadsword and his 
targe
    D
And closely him surrounded
    Am               Em
And when he woke out of his sleep
    C              D
His senses were confounded

[Verse]
    G               C       G
Now they have taken out his heart
    G
And stuck it on a spear
     C       G      C
They took it to the House of Marr
    G       D      G
And gave it to his dear

[Chorus]

Where shall I go for to hide me?

For I have killed a gallant squire
