Annie Laurie Lyrics and Chords by the Corries

(Scottish Love Song by Lady John Scott) For the Corries’ version use capo on 1st fret. Also recorded by Deanna Durbin, St Paul's Cathedral Choir, James Dunne, Jo Stafford and Irish tenor singer John McCormack. The guitar chords are by Marc Fahrbach. This is one of the most beautiful Scottish songs I ever heard. The sheet music and tin whistle notes are included.

Max(G)welton's braes are (C)bonnie
Where (G)early fa's the (D)dew
And 'twas (G)there that Annie (C)Laurie
Gave (G)me her (D)promise (G)true.
Gave me her (D7)promise (G)true
Which ne'er for(D7)got will (G)be
And for (Em)bonnie (C)Annie (G)Laurie
I'd lay me (D)doon and (G)dee.
 
Her (G)brow is like the (C)snowdrift
Her (G)neck is like the (D)swan
Her (G)face it is the (C)fairest
That (G)e'er the (D)sun shone (G)on.
That e'er the (D7)sun shone (G)on
And dark blue (D7)is her (G)e'e
And for (Em)bonnie (C)Annie (G)Laurie
I'd lay me (D)doon and (G)dee.
 
Max(G)welton's braes are (C)bonnie
Where (G)early fa's the (D)dew
And it’s (G)there that Annie (C)Laurie
Gave (G)me her (D)promise (G)true.
 
Like (G)dew on the gowan (C)lying
Is the (G)fa' o' her fairy (D)feet
And like (G)wind in summer (C)sighing
Her (G)voice is (D)low and (G)sweet.
Her voice is (D7)low and (G)sweet
She's a' the (D7)world to (G)me
And for (Em)bonnie (C)Annie (G)Laurie
I'd lay me (D)doon and (G)dee.
