_ _ O Rowan tree, _ O Rowan tree, [F] Thou didst be [G] [Am] dear to [C] _ _
me,
_ And when thou _ art with money, [F] _
_ Tithes, O [G] heaven and [C] earth, and sea,
_ _ Thy little _ _ [F] rifle, _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ O _ _ [G] summer's pride, _ _ [C] There _ was nest, O body _ [F]
tree,
[C] In all [G] the _ _ [C] countryside, _ _ _ _ O _ [G] _
_ [C] Rowan tree. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ O fair, what love in summer _ time, [F] We all thy [G] flowers [C] _ white, _
_ How rich and gay thy _ [F] autumn dress, [C] We berries [G] _
_ [C] red and _ bright.
_ O my fair stem, [F] O my _ limbs, [C] Which no name [Am] here [G] I see, _
_ [C] But there _ engraven on _ [F] my heart, _ [C] _ _ [G] Forgotten, _ _ [C] _ inerrantly, _ _ O _ _ [G] _
Rowan [C] _ tree. _
_ _ _ _ _ _
We _ _ sat, and eat thy spreading _ shade, [F] The berries room [C] clear, _ _ _
They _ put thy bonny berries [F] _
red, _ [C] And [G] necklaces _ [C] they _ strung.
_ Thy mother, O [F] I see her still, [C] She smiled, O [Am]'er [G] sports they see, _
_ [C] With her little _
[D] [C] genie on [F] her _ [C] lap, And Jamie _ [G] _
[C] at her _ knee, _ O Rowan [G] _
_ _ [C] tree. _ _

_ _ _ there _ arose my feathers, _
_ _ [F] Spreading _ holy _ [C] ferns calm,
_ _ How sweet was then my _ [F] mother's _ [C] voice, And the _ [G] _ [C] _ martyr's song.
_ _ _ Now our game [F] we meet, Nay, [C] mare, O neither, [Am]
O [G] Rowan tree, _
_ [C] But _ hallowed thoughts, Our [F] wounded _ twain, [C] O [G] hame and _ _ [C] infancy, _ _ _ O _ _ [G] _
_ Rowan _ [C] tree.
