Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

Capercaillie - I Will Set My Ship In Order
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C
Oh, I will set my ship in order
Am G F
I will sail her on the sea
C
I'll go far over yonder border
Am G/B C
To see if my love minds on me
[Verse 2]
Am G/B C
And he sailed east and he sailed west
Am G C F
He sailed far, far seeking land
C
Until he came to his true love's window
Am G C F
And he knocked loud and would be in
[Verse 3]
C
"Oh, who is that at my bedroom window?
Am G C F
Who knocks so loud and would be in?"
C
"'Tis I, 'tis I, your ain true lover
Am G/B C
And I am drenched untae my skin
[Verse 4]
F C
"So go and go and ask your faither
Am G F
And see if he'll let you marry me
C
If he says no, come back and tell me
Am G/B C
And it's the last time I'll trouble thee"
[Verse 5]
F C
"My father's in his chamber writing
Am G F
Setting down his merchandise
C
And in his hand he holds a letter
Am G/B C
And it speaks much in your dispraise
[Verse 6]
F C
"My mother's in her chamber sleeping
Am G F
And words of love she will not hear
C
So you may go and court another
Am G/B C
And whisper softly in her ear"
[Verse 7]
F C
Then she arose, put on her clothing
Am G F
It was to let her true love in
C
But ere she had the door unlockit
Am G/B C
His ship was sailing on the main
[Verse 8]
F C
"Come back, come back, my ain dear Johnny
Am G F
Come back, come back and marry me"
C
"How can I come back and marry you, love?
Am G/B C
Our ship is sailing on the sea"
[Instrumental]
F C Am G F C Am G/B C
[Verse 9]
F C
The fish may fly, and the seas run dry
Am G F
The rocks may melt doon wi' the sun
C
And working man may forget his labour
Am G/B C
Before that my love returns again
[Verse 10]
F C
She's turned herself right roun' about
Am G F
She's flung herself intae the sea
C
Farewell for aye, my ain dear Johnny
Am G/B C
Ye'll ne'er hae tae come back to me
