Blooming Heather by Kate Rusby

This is mainly a song for a person with a good voice, the guitar part isn't huge. The 
chords used are here, I worked from the video

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3B2mntKAZo

Just pick through the chords, make sure the first note is the bass note of the chord and 
fairly strong. Standard tuning, no capo. Am/D = Am with open D string as th bass note, 
Am/G = Am with fret 3 of the bottom E string as the bass note.

Intro: C

Verse 1

        C              C
Oh the summer time is coming
        F                  C
And the trees are sweetly blooming
        F              Am
And the wild mountain thyme
      Am/D               Am/G
Grows around the blooming heather
       C
Will ye go, Lassie, go


Chorus
    F             C
And we'll all go together
        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme
    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather
        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go


Verse 2
       C               C
I will build my love a tower
        F              C
By yon' pure crystal fountain
     F           Am
And on it i will build
      Am/D              Am/G
All the flowers of the mountain
        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go


Chorus
    F             C
And we'll all go together
        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme
    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather
        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go


Here it has an instrumental bit, which uses the same chord pattern as the verse.

Verse 3
      C               C
If my true love she were gone
        F            C
I would surely find another
        F              Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme
     Am/D                Am/G
Grows around the blooming heather
      C
Will ye go, Lassie, go


Chorus
    F             C
And we'll all go together
        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme
    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather
        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go
    F             C
And we'll all go together
        F               Am
To pluck wild mountain thyme
    Am/D                Am/G
All around the blooming heather
        C
Will ye go, Lassie, go

            C
End: Let us go, Lassie, go
