This is an old song that sounds lovely on the Piano-Accordion. (beginners can simplify Bdim/G to G and Am7 to Am). I suggest reading the history behind this song, because it adds a new depth to the understanding of the beauty of this piece. AMouse197. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bonnie_Banks_o%27_Loch_Lomond http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qu_aBryealw - this is a video of this tab being played G Bdim/G C D By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes, G Em C D Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lo-mon'. C G Am7 C where me and me true love were ever wont to gae G C D G On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mon'. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/m/misc-traditional/325856.html ] Chorus: G Bdim/G C D O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road, G Em C D An' I'll be in Scotland afore ye; C G Am7 Am C But me and me true love will never meet again G C D G On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lo-mon'. G Bdim/G C D 'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen, G Em C D On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lo-mon', C G Am7 Am C Where in deep purple hue the Hieland hills we view, G C D G An' the moon comin' out in the gloa-min'. (chorus) G Bdim/G C D The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring, G Em C D And in sunshine the waters lie slee-pin'; C G Am7 Am C But the broken heart it ken nae second spring again, G C D G Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their gree-tin' |
