D b e A7
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes
D b G A
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond
G b e A7
Where me and my true love spent many a days
D G A D
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
’Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen
On the steep sides of Ben Lomond
Where in deep purple hue the Highland hills we view
And the moon comin’ out in the gloaming.
Chorus:
D b G A
You’ll take the high road and I’ll take the low road
D b G A
And I’ll be in Scotland before you
G b e A7
Where me and my true love will never meet again
D G A D
On the bonnie bonnie banks of Loch Lomond.
Where wild flowers spring and the wee birdies sing
On the steep steep sides of Ben Lomond
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring
Though resigned we may be while we're partin’.
