[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Bb G C
Woe be to the orders that took my love away
F C G C F G
And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
C F C G C F
Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
C G/B Am F G C
They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Bb G C
The drum beat in the morning before the break of day
F C G C F G
And the small wee fife played loud and clear, while yet the morn was grey
C F C G C F
And aye, the bonny flag unfurled, 'twas a gallant sight to see
C G/B Am F G C
Woe to me, my soldier lad was marched to Germany
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Bb G C
Long, long is the travelling to the bonny pier of Leith
F C G C F G
And bleak it was to gang there, with a snowstorm in your teeth
C F C G C F
And aye, the wind blew sharp and strong, and a tear rose in my eye
C G/B Am F G C
I gang there to see my love embark for Germany
[Verse 4]
Cmaj7 Bb G C
As I gazed over the cruel, cruel sea for as long as could be seen
F C G C F G
The wee small sails upon the ship, my own true love was in
C F C G C F
And aye, the wind blew sharp and strong, and the ship sailed speedily
C G/B Am F G C
Cruel the raging wars have torn my bonny boy from me
[Verse 5]
Cmaj7 Bb G C
Woe be to the orders that took my love away
F C Am G C F G
And woe be to the cruel cause that bid my tears to fall
C F C G C F
Woe be to the bloody wars of high Germany
C G/B Am F G C
They have taken my love and left a broken heart to me
