Chords for The Corries- My Dear only Love {Rare Recording}

I got a breath back with that.
There's one of our oldest love songs.
It was written by the Duke of Montrose,
and he inscribed it when he was imprisoned in Falkirk Castle. _
And it's called, My Dear and Only Love. _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [D] My [G] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _
dear and only love, I pray,
[G] That little [D] world _ be governed [G] by no other [D] sway
Than purest love.
[A] _ _
[D] But if confusion [G] has a part
Which virtuous [A] souls abhor,
[D] I'll hold a [G] synod in [D] my heart
And [A] never love.
[D] _ _
Like Alexander [G] I [D] would reign,
And I [A] would reign [D] alone. _
My thoughts did [G] ever [D] marred his vain arrival,
O!
[A] _ _
[D] He either [G] fears his fate [D] too much,
Or his [A] deserts are small.
[D] But there's not [G] good it [D] to the touch
[G] To gain [A] or lose it [D] all.
And in the [G] end, my heart, where I would [D] solely be,
If others [G] do pretend [D] a part,
O!
dare to vie with [A] me.
[D] Or if [G] confusion thou [D] will lift,
And go on such [A] a score,
[D] I'll laugh and sing [G] at thy neglect
And never [D] love. _ _

_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _
But if thou wilt [G] prove [D] faithful then,
And [A] constant all [D] thy word, _
I'll make thee [G] famous by [D] my pen
And glorious by [A] my song.
_ [D]
I'll serve thee in [G] such [D] noble ways
As never were [A] before. _
[D] I'll crown and deck [G] thee [D] always
And [A] love thee ever.
[D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ I love thee.
