Alasdair Roberts - The whole house is singing

Oh, I ^Gknow she rose^D early, for I ^Cheard her sweet ^Dsinging ^GEchoing ^Dover the ^Cflowering ^Dheath She ^Ggathered the ^Dwillow, the ^Celder, the ^Dlinden The ^Gholly, the ^Divy twined^C in^Dto a ^Gwreath

Oh, the ^Gnotes you are ^Dforming, I ^Clong to pos^Dsess them They ^Gleap from your ^Dtongue and as^Ccend on the ^Dbreeze Had ^GI risen ^Dearly from ^Cbed in the ^Dmorning Then ^GI would have^D hold of the ^Cnotes^D you re^Glease

And she ^Ggave me the ^Dwreath and she ^Csang like a ^Dstarling My ^Gfingers en^Dtwined in her ^Cfeathery ^Dhair But she ^Gshrugged me a^Dway and said, "^CAlasdair, ^Ddarling When a ^Gsong's on the ^Dwind it be^Clongs ^Dto the ^Gair"

See ^GPolly, she ^Dsings as she ^Csits at the ^Dspinning wheel ^GMary, she ^Dsings as she ^Cskips with her ^Drope And ^GJohnny, he ^Dsings as he ^Cfetches the ^Dherring creel And ^GBilly, he ^Dsings as he ^Crolls ^Ddown the ^Gslope

And the ^Gwhole house is ^Dsinging, the ^Cwhole house is ^Dsinging The ^Grafters are ^Dringing, and the ^Ctimbers are ^Dthrown The ^Gwhole house is ^Dsinging, the ^Cwhole house is ^Dsinging And ^GI over^Dhear them, and ^Cthis^D is their ^Gsong

Hmm hmm ^Ghmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm ^Chmm hmm ^Dhmm Hmm hmm ^Ghmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm ^Chmm hmm ^Dhmm

We are ^Gstronger when the moon glows^C in the ^Dsky And the ^Gmoon causes the tide to^C rise and ^Drise And the ^Gweed carried upon the^C drawing ^Dfoam We will ^Ggather to bedeck our^C happy ^Dhome

Hmm hmm ^Ghmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm ^Chmm hmm ^Dhmm Hmm hmm ^Ghmm, hmm hmm hmm hmm, hmm ^Chmm hmm ^Dhmm
