Intro: G    Bm  C  G  C  G    D  G 

verse 1: 
                          Bm 
When I've done my work of day  
      C            G  
And I row my boat away 
         C              G 
Down the waters of Loch Tay 
       D                D7 
As the evening light is fading 
      G             Bm 
And I gaze upon Ben Lawers 
          C           G 
Where the after glory glows 
      C                   G  
And I think on two bright eyes  
                D       G 
And the melting mouth below 


verse 2: 
         C                 G  
She's my beauteous nighean ruach 
   C              G 
My joy and sorrow too 
    C              G  
And if she prove untrue 
        D       
Well, I cannot live without her 
       G                 Bm 
For my heart's a boat in tow 
        C                 G 
And I'd give the world to know 
        C               G 
Why she means to let me go 
            D      G 
As I sing hilee, hilo
