C                      F               C
Last night I heard the voice of Thomas Fraser 
C                                       G
And the comfort of his words came to my ears 
C                                 F
By a willow he was singing to the catfish 
C                     G              C      F
And time had withered not his tender years 
   C                 G               C
Oh time had withered not his tender years 


[Verse 2]

 C      F                                  C
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar 
C                                          G
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
C                                     F              C
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye 
C                G                 C    F
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
      C             G             C
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will


[Verse 3] 

C                      F                  C
If he sang of life's misfortunes he would sing up to the sky
C                                          G
As he struggled through the dangers of the deep 
C                                 F               C
And a moment when he gazed upon a loving Shetland moon
C                       G               C      F
And a love song for his family in their sleep
     C                 G               C
Oh a love song for his family in their sleep


[Chorus]

 C      F                                  C
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar 
C                                          G
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
C                                     F              C
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye 
C                G                 C    F
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
      C             G             C
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will


[Verse 5]

C                      F                  C
If you join him by the willow you'll be welcome 
C                                          G
To soothe the savage breast his voice will try
 C                                 F               C
You all will be made welcome there where peace of mind has curly hair
C                  G               C      F
 Thomas sings and plays to tell us why 
  C                 G               C
Oh Thomas sings and plays to tell us why 


[Chorus]

 C      F                                  C
And the hummingbirds were singing while he played his old guitar 
C                                          G
And with every word he sang the breeze was still
C                                     F              C
And a light was shining down upon the water from his eye 
C                G                 C    F
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
      C             G             C
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants, Thomas will


[Outro]

   Am                     C
As Thomas sang his song a baby sang along 
   C             G                 C
If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
      C             G             C
Oh If Thomas Fraser wants then Thomas will
