Craigie Hill Chords by Cara Dillon

_ I'm going to do one more song now, it's a song called Craigie Hill
and it's a song about two young lovers who head off to America to find their fame and fortune there
but the reality back in those days was that it was a one-way ticket
and most people never really returned.

_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
It being in [Dbm] the [E] _ [B] springtime
and [Abm] the [B] small birds [E] were singing
[B] [Abm] Dying by [B] on shady [E]
isle
_ _ [B] _ _ Carelessly [E] did [Abm] stray
_ The brushes they [Em] were warm
_ [B] The violets they were charming
_ To view [Ebm] fond [B] lovers tall
_ [E] How [B] I liked it [E] to lay
She [B] said, [E] my dear, [B] don't leave me
[Abm] For [Gb] _
[E] another season
_ [Abm] Though fortune [Gb] [E] does be _ pleasing
_ [B] I'll go along [E] with you
[Abm] I'll forsake [Gb] friends [E] and _ relations
[B] I'll bid this holy [E] nation
_ [B] And to the [Abm] bonnie _ bandines
[E]
Forever I'll bid adieu
[B] He said, my [E] [B] dear, don't [Abm] grieve
Or [B] yet annoy [E] my patience
[Abm] You know [Gb] I love [E] you _ dearly
[B] The more I'm [E] going now _
[Abm] I'm going [Gb] to a [Dbm] foreign [E] _ nation
[B] To purchase a [E] plantation _
[B] To comfort us [Abm] _ _
hereafter
[E] Home in the [Abm] meadow king

[Gb] _ _ [B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] Then [E] after a [B] short while
_ [Abm] If [B] fortune does [E] be pleasing
[Abm] It'll [Gb] cause them far [E] to _ slant
[B] Our lego will [E] now weigh
[Abm] We'll be happy [B] in sweet [E] _ Victoria
_ [B] All in her greatest [E] glory
[B] We'll be drinking wine [Abm] and water
_ [E] All in the merry kay
[B] _ If you were [E] in your [B] bed lying
[Abm] And _
[B] thinking [E] on dying
The [B] sight of the [E] lovely _ banks
[B] Sure, sorrow [E] you'd give _ for
[Abm] Or if [Ebm] you were [E] _ _ _ _ _ [B]
dying in a shady _ [E] bower
_ [B] _
Pleasure would [Abm] _ surround you
[E]
You'd think on [Gb] death [Abm] you're [Bbm] home _
[B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _ [Gb] _ _
[B] _ _ [Dbm] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _
[Dbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[E] Then fare you well, [B] sweet [Gb] Craigie Hill
[Abm] Where _ [Gb] oftentimes [E] I've roved
[Abm] I [Gb] never thought [E] my childhood [B] days
I'd part you _ [E] anymore
_ [Abm]
Now we're [Gb] sailing on [E] the ocean _
[B] For a runaround [E] promotion _
And [B] the bonnie [Abm] boats are sailing
_ [E] Wait on the [Abm] dune
