Gloomy Winter's Noo Awa
Words: Robert Tannahill. Tune: Traditional

Am              Fmaj7
Gloomy winter's noo awa
C                 G       Em
Soft the westlin' breezes blaw
Am                 Fmaj7
‘Mang the birks o' Stanley shaw
    C     G         Fmaj7
The mavis sings fu' cheerie-o


Am                    Fmaj7
Sweet the crawflowr's early bell
C                G    Em
Decks Glenifer's dewy dell
Am                Fmaj7
Bloomin' like yer bonnie sel'
   C        G       Fmaj7
My young my artless dearie-o

[alt]
C              G
Come my lassie let us stray
Am                 Em
O'er Glenkilloch's sunny brae
    Am       G         Am     Em
And blythely spend the gowden day
       Fmaj7     G     Am
‘Midst joy thats never wearie-o

Am                Fmaj7
Tow'ring o'er the Newton woods
C                 G          Em
Lav'rocks fan the snow-white clouds
Am                Fmaj7
Siller saughs wi' downy buds
 C        G         Fmaj7
Adorn the banks saw briery-o

Am               Fmaj7
Round the sylvan fairy nooks
C                 G          Em
Feath'ry breckans fringe the rocks
Am                  Fmaj7
‘Neath the brae the burnie jouks
    C    G        Fmaj7
And ilka thing is cheerie-o

[alt]
C                 G
Trees may bud and birds may sing
Am                    Em
Flowers may bloom and verdue spring
    Am     G       Am    Em
But joy to me they canna bring
  Fmaj7    G     Am
Unless wi' ye my dearie-o
