The Scotsman chords by The Irish Rovers
D G A D
Well Scotsman clad in kilt left the bar one evening fair
D G D A
One could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
G D G A
He stumbled on until he could no longer keep his feet
D G A D
Then he staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh ring di diddle I Oh
D G A D
He staggered off into the grass to sleep beside the street
[Verse]
D G A D
Later on two young and lovely girls just happened by
D G D A
One says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
G D G A
See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
D G A D
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh ring di diddle I Oh
D G A D
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
[Verse]
D G A D
They crept up to that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
D G D A
Lifted up his kilt above the waist so they could see
G D G A
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
D G A D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh ring di diddle I Oh
D G A D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
[Verse]
D G A D
They marveled for a moment then one said we'd best be gone
D G D A
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
G D G A
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
D G A D
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh ring di diddle I Oh
D G A D
Around the bonnie star of the Scots kilt lifting show
[Verse]
D G A D
The Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled towards a tree
D G D A
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
G D G A
Then in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
D G A D
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize
[Chorus]
G D A
Ring ding diddle iddle I dee oh ring di diddle I Oh
D G A D
My friend I dunno where you've been but I see you've won first prize
