Blooming Heather by Kate Rusby
This is mainly a song for a person with a good voice, the guitar part isn t huge. The
chords used are here, I worked from the video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3B2mntKAZo
Just pick through the chords, make sure the first note is the bass note of the chord and
fairly strong. Standard tuning, no capo. Am/D = Am with open D string as th bass note,
Am/G = Am with fret 3 of the bottom E string as the bass note.
Intro:
Verse 1
Oh the summer time is coming
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Chorus
And we ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Verse 2
I will build my love a tower
By yon pure crystal fountain
And on it i will build
All the flowers of the mountain
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Chorus
And we ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Here it has an instrumental bit, which uses the same chord pattern as the verse.
Verse 3
If my true love she were gone
I would surely find another
To pluck wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Chorus
And we ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
And we ll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go, Lassie, go
End: Let us go, Lassie, go
Hope this is helpful :)
