The Bonnie Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond
Traditional
 
[Capo on 2]
 
   C          Am           Dm         G
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
          C          Am             F  G
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
      F         Em             Dm
Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae
       C              Am            Dm C
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond.
 
 
[chorus]
  C              Am             Dm            G
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
    C          Am        F    G
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    F         Em             Dm
But me and my true love will never meet again
       C              Am            Dm C
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

 
      C             Am         Dm        G
'Twas there that we parted, in yon shady glen
       C            Am          F  G
On the steep, steep side o' Ben Lomond
         F           Em       Dm
Where in soft purple hue, the hieland hills we view
        C           Am         Dm   C
And the moon coming out in the gloaming
 
 
[chorus]
  C              Am             Dm            G
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
    C          Am        F    G
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    F         Em             Dm
But me and my true love will never meet again
       C              Am            Dm C
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond

 
    C           Am           Dm          G
The wee birdies sing and the wildflowers spring
       C            Am         F    G
And in sunshine the waters are sleeping
        F               Em       Dm
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
           C          Am               Dm   C
Though the waeful may cease frae their grieving
 
 
[chorus]
  C              Am             Dm            G
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
    C          Am        F    G
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    F         Em             Dm
But me and my true love will never meet again
       C              Am            Dm C
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
 
 
  C              Am             Dm            G
O ye'll tak' the high road, and I'll tak' the low road
    C          Am        F    G
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye
    F         Em             Dm
But me and my true love will never meet again
       C              Am            Dm C
On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond
