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'.

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'
