The Road To Dundee Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Cau[Em]ld wi[A]nt[D]er was howlin'[Em]
[D]o'er moor and o'er mountain
[G]Wild was the [D]surge on the
dark rolling [Em]sea,
[D]When I met about [Em]daybreak a
[D]bonnie young lassie,
Wha asked me the road
and the [Em]miles to [A]Dundee.
[D]Says I, "My young las[Em]sie,
[D]I canna' weel tell ye
The [G]road and the dis[D]tance
I canna' weel [A]gie.
[D]But if you'll permit [Em]me tae
[G]gang [D]a wee bittie,
[G]I'll show ye the [D]road and
[Em]the miles to [C]Dun[D]dee".
At once she consented and gave me her arm,
Ne'er a [G]word did [D]I speir wha the lassie [Em]might [D]be,
[Em][D][G][D][G][D][Em][A][D]

[Verse 2]
At length wi' the [A]Howe [G]o'
Strathmartine be[D]hind us,
The [G]spires o' [D]the toon
in full view [Em]we could see,
[D]She said "Gentle Sir[A],
[D]I'll never forget ye
For [G]showing [D]me so far on the [Em]road to [A]Dundee".
[D][Em][G][D][G][D][A][Em][A]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][D]
So I took the gowd [Em]pin from the
[D]scarf on my bosom
- And said [Em]"Keep [D]ye this in
remembrance [Em]0' me[A]
[D]Then bravely I kissed [Em]the sweet
[D]lips o' the lassie,
E'er I par[G]ted [D]wi' her
on the [A]road [Em]to D[A]undee.
[D]So here's to the las[Em]sie,
I [G]ne'er for[D]get her,
And lika young laddie that's
listening to [Em]me,[A]
[D]O never b[Em]e sweer to conv[G]oy
a [D]young lassie
Though it's [G]only [D]to show her the [Em]road
to [D]Dundee.
