Ye Banks And Braes O Bonnie Doon Chords

   D         Am/C     D      Am/C
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
    D      G         D         A
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    D      Am/C      D      Am/C
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    D       G      G      D
And I'm sae weary, fu' o' care!
 
      D     G  D         D   G    D
Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
     D                   G         A
That wantons through the flow'ring thorn,
   D       Am/C D        Am/C
Ye mind me  o'  departed joys,
  D      G     G    D
Departed never to return.
 
 
    D      Am/C     D      Am/C
Oft ha'e I roved by bonnie Doon,
   D       G        D        A
To see the rose and woodbine twine;
    D    Am/C      D      Am/C
And ilka bird sang o' its love,
    D      G       G    D
And fondly sae did I o' mine.
 
    D    G    D       D         G  D
Wi' lightsome heart I stretch'd my hand,
    D              G        A
And pu'd a rosebud from the tree;
    D        Am/C  D         Am/C
But my fause lover stole the rose,
    D         G        G         D
And left, and left the thorn wi’ me.
 
   D         Am/C     D      Am/C
Ye banks and braes o' bonnie Doon,
    D      G         D         A
How can ye bloom sae fresh and fair?
    D      Am/C      D      Am/C
How can ye chant, ye little birds,
    D       G      G      D
And I'm sae weary, fu' o' care!
 
      D     G  D         D   G    D
Ye'll break my heart, ye warbling bird,
     D                   G         A
That wantons through the flow'ring thorn,
   D       Am/C D        Am/C
Ye mind me  o'  departed joys,
  D      G     G    D
Departed never to return.
