Capo: 7. Tuning: E A D G B E

With these Chords I follow the version of the song by The Corries. They play it with Capo 7. [Verse 1]

Fare^Awell ye dungeons dark and stra^Eng, The ^Awretches destin^Dy, Mac^APhersons time will no be l^Eang, On ^Ayonder g^Dallow's t^E7ree

[Verse 2]

It was b^Ay a woman's treachorous h^Eands, That ^AI was condemned to d^Dee, She st^Aood uben a windae l^Eedge, And a b^Alanket threw^D o'er ^E7me

[Chorus]

Sae r^Aantingly, sae w^Eantonly, Ans sae d^Aauntingly gaed ^Dhe, He pl^Aayed a tune and he danced ar^Eound Bel^Aow the g^Dallow's t^E7ree

[Verse 3]

Oh w^Ahat is death, but parting br^Eeath On m^Aony a bloody pl^Dain I've d^Aaur'd his face, and in his p^Elace I s^Acorn him ^Dyet aga^E7in

[Chorus]

Sae r^Aantingly, sae w^Eantonly, Ans sae d^Aauntingly gaed ^Dhe, He pl^Aayed a tune and he danced ar^Eound Bel^Aow the g^Dallow's t^E7ree

[Verse 4]

I have l^Aived a life, o' straught and st^Erife I d^Aie by treacher^Dy It b^Aurns my heart, that I must dep^Eart An ^Ano ave^Dnged b^E7e

[Chorus]

Sae r^Aantingly, sae w^Eantonly, Ans sae d^Aauntingly gaed ^Dhe, He pl^Aayed a tune and he danced ar^Eound Bel^Aow the g^Dallow's t^E7ree

[Verse 5]

So t^Aak these bands fae aff my h^Eands G^Aae to me my s^Dword There's ^Anae a man in a' Scotl^Eand But I'll b^Arave him ^Dat a w^E7ord

[Chorus]

Sae r^Aantingly, sae w^Eantonly, Ans sae d^Aauntingly gaed ^Dhe, He pl^Aayed a tune and he danced ar^Eound Bel^Aow the g^Dallow's t^E7ree

[Verse 6]

Now f^Aarewell light thou sunshine ^Ebright And ^Aall beneath the s^Dky May c^Aoward shame distain his n^Eame The wr^Aetch that d^Dare not ^E7die

[Chorus]

Sae r^Aantingly, sae w^Eantonly, Ans sae d^Aauntingly gaed ^Dhe, He pl^Aayed a tune and he danced ar^Eound Bel^Aow the g^Dallow's t^E7ree
