Ye Banks and Braes

guitar chords lyrics

The Real McKenzies

Ye banks & braes of bonnie doon,
How can ye bloom sae fresh & fair
How can ye chant ye tiny wee birds

And I sae weary and nae full o' care
Ye break me heart; ye birds that sing
That warble through the flowery thorn
Ye remind me of a departed joy
Departed forever tae never return
I've often roamed by bonnie doon
To walk by the ocean, the wind and the sky
And like the birdees that sing o' their love,
Sae fondly say did I of mine
With lightsome heart I spied a rose
So sweet and aglow on thorny tree
And my false love did steal that rose

With lightsome heart I spied a rose
So sweet and aglow on thorny tree
And my false love did steal that rose
And all she left me was but a thorn
