CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G C G C
G C G
How Blithe was I each morning to see
C D
My love came o'er the hills
G C G
She skipped the burn and ran to me
Am D
I met her with goodwill
G C G
We neither herded ewes nor lamb
C D
While the flocks near us lay
G C G
She gathered in the sheep at night
Am D
And cheered me all of the day
CHORUS:
G C G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
C D
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G C G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
Am D
Herding her father's ewes
G C G
She tuned her pipe and reed so sweet
C D
The birds stood listening by__
G C G
And even the dull cattle stood and gazed
Am D
Charmed with her melody
G C G
Hard fate that I should banished be
C D
Gone way over hill and moor
G C G
Because I loved the fairest lass
Am D
That ever yet was born
CHORUS:
G C G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
C D
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G C G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
Am D
Herding her father's ewes
INSTRUMENTAL: G C G C D G C G Am D
G C G
Adieu, ye Cowdenknowes, adieu
C D
Farewell all your pleasures there
G C G
To wander by her side again
Am D
Is all I crave or care
CHORUS:
G C G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
C D
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G C G
Fain would I be in the Old Country
Am D
Herding her father's ewes
CHORUS:
G C G
Oh, the broom, the bonnie, bonnie broom
C D
The broom o' the Cowdenknowes
G C G
I wish I were in the Old Country
Am D
Herding her father's ewes
