Tom : Am
Am Em Am
Dm (2x)
[Verse 1]
Am D F Dm
One morning in springtime as day was a-dawning
Am C D
Bright Phoebus had risen from over the lea
Am Em F Dm
I spied a fair maiden as homeward she wandered
Em D F G Am D
From herding her flocks on the hills of Glenshee
[Verse 2]
Am D F Dm
I stood in amazement, says I, "Pretty fair maid
Am C D
If you will come down to St. John's Town with me
Am Em F Dm
There's ne'er been a lady set foot in my castle
Em D F G Am D
There's ne'er been a lady dressed grander than thee"
[Verse 3]
Am D F Dm
A coach and six horses to go at your bidding
Am C D
And all men that speak shall say "Ma'am" unto thee
Am Em F Dm
Fine servants to serve you and go at your bidding
Em D F G Am D Am D
I'll make you my bride, my sweet lass of Glenshee
[Verse 4]
Am D F Dm
"Oh what do I care for your castles and coaches?
Am C D
And what do I care for your gay grandeury?
Am Em F Dm
I'd rather be home at my cot, at my spinning
Em D F G Am D
Or herding my flocks on the hills of Glenshee"
[Verse 5]
Am D F Dm
"Away with such nonsense and get up beside me
Am C D
E'er summer comes on, my sweet bride you will be
Am Em F Dm
And then in my arms I will gently caress thee"
Em D F G Am D Am D
'Twas then she consented, I took her with me
[Verse 6]
Am D F Dm
Seven years have rolled on since we were united
Am C D
There's many's a change, but there's no change on me
Am Em F Dm
And my love, she's as fair as that morn on the mountain
Em D F G Am
When I plucked me a wild rose on the hills of Glenshee
