Real McKenzies – Nessie
[Intro]
G C Am
[Verse 1]
G
Away up in Scotland is the place that's best
C Am
Is a Scottish fjord that they call Loch Ness
G
The loch is so deep there ain't nobody know
C Am
And deep within the loch is a bonnie bonnie creature
G
A long time ago there was a people who knew
C Am
The water and the land and all life is sacred
G
Everybody treated Nessie with respect
C Am
Nobody bothered her swimming in the sea so
Em G C
Swim round so proud and beautiful
[Harmonica Bridge]
G C Am G C Am
[Verse 2]
G
Yeah she squiggled and she squiggled And she frolicked in the sunshine
C Am
She swam into another serpent and they fell in love
G
With the ocean and the highlands and the stars up above
C Am
Why go away there were no reasons
G
Time rolled on about 10,000 years
C Am
The ancient people of the loch began to disappear
G
Some were wiped out, some moved away
C Am
Who could tell that the end was near so
[Chorus]
Em G C
Go now, get down, and swim away
Em G C
But don't you forget to return on a sunny day
G C G
Come on, come on, oh Nessie come on
G Am C
Come on, come on, Loch Ness is where you belong
G C G Am C
So come on, oh Nessie come on, Loch Ness is where you belong

[Verse 3]
G
Now the people of the world look down in Loch Ness
C Am
And they noticed something big and bumpy swimming all around
G
And the newspapers said, "she couldn't be found"
C Am
So they got the radiomen and the television crew
G
Run Nessie run they're all after you
C Am
Now they've got the helicopters and submarines too
G
If you let them capture you I know what they'll do
C Am
We'll have to pay to see you in an underwater zoo, No!
[Chorus]
Em G C
Go now, get down, and swim away
Em G C
But don't you forget to return on a sunny day
G C G
Come on, come on, oh Nessie come on
G Am C
Come on, come on, Loch Ness is where you belong
G C G Am C
So come on, oh Nessie come on, Loch Ness is where you belong
