The Twa Corbies

Am  B7  C  D  Em

[Verse 1]
As I was walking, oh a' my lane
                                             Am
I spied twa corbies, they were makin' mane
                                   Em
And een ontae the other did say-o
                                         B7
"Whar will we gang? Will we dine the day-o?
Em                                  C      D  Em
Whar will we gang? Will we dine the day?"

[Verse 2]
It's in ahind yon oul fail dyke
                                           Am
I wot there lies, oh, a new-slain knight
                                   Em
Naebody kens that he lies there-o
                                          B7
But his hawk, his hound and his lady fair-o
    Em                          C      D  Em
His hawk, his hound and his lady fair

[Verse 3]
His hawk is tae the hunting gane
                                        Am
His hound, to bring a' wild fowl hame
                                 Em
His lady's ta'en another mate-o
                                B7
So we can mak' our dinner sweet-o
Em                       C       D  Em
So we can mak' our dinner sweet

[Verse 4]
It's you'll sit on his white horse bane
                                        Am
And I'll pick out his bonny blue e'en
                                 Em
Wi' a lock of his gowden hair-o
                                      B7
We'll thak our nest fan it grows bare-o
Em                              C      D  Em
We'll thak our nest fan it grows bare

[Verse 5]
There's mony's an ane now for him makes mane
                                     Am
But naebody kens where he has gane
                                           Em
Through his bare bones as they lie bare-o
                                    B7
The wind will blow aye forever mare-o
Em                               C   Em
The wind will blow, aye, forever mare___
