E5                       A5          F#5
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
          E5          A5              F#5 E5
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lo  mon'
      A5         E5              F#5         A5
Where me and my true love will never meet again
       E5              A5             F#5 E5
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo  mon'

    E5                            A5             E5
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low,
               A5         F#5  E5
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
    A5         E5              F#5         A5
For me and my true love will never meet again
       E5              A5             F#5 E5
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo  mon'

      E5                       A5         E5
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
                    A5            F#5 E5
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lo  mon'
      A5           E5       F#5              A5
Where in a purple hue the Heilan' hills we view,
       E5           A5          F#5 E5
An the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.

    E5                            A5             E5
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low,
               A5         F#5  E5
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
    A5         E5              F#5         A5
For me and my true love will never meet again
       E5              A5             F#5 E5
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo  mon'

    G5                        C5            E5
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
       G5            C5          E5  G5
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
        C5               G5        E5             C5
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
         G5          C5                D5   G5
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'.

    G5                            C5             G5
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
               C5         E5   G5
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
    C5         G5              E5          C5
But me and my true love will never meet again.
       G5              C5             D5 G5
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon'
