E A F#m
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
E A F#m E
Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lo mon'
A E F#m A
Where me and my true love will never meet again
E A F#m E
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo mon'
E A E
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low,
A F#m E
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
A E F#m A
For me and my true love will never meet again
E A F#m E
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo mon'
E A E
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
A F#m E
On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lo mon'
A E F#m A
Where in a purple hue the Heilan' hills we view,
E A F#m E
An the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
E A E
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low,
A F#m E
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
A E F#m A
For me and my true love will never meet again
E A F#m E
On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lo mon'
G C Em
The wee birdies sing and the wild flowers spring
G C Em G
And in sunshine the waters are sleepin'
C G Em C
But the broken heart it kens nae second spring again
G C D G
Tho' the waefu' may cease frae their greetin'.
G C G
Oh, ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road,
C Em G
And I'll be in Scotland afore ye;
C G Em C
But me and my true love will never meet again.

On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Loch Lomon'
