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: C
Verse 1
CC
Oh the summer time is coming
FC
And the trees are sweetly blooming
FAm
And the wild mountain thyme
Am/DAm/G
Grows around the blooming heather
C
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Chorus
FC
And we'll all go together
FAm
To pluck wild mountain thyme
Am/DAm/G
All around the blooming heather
C
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Verse 2
CC
I will build my love a tower
FC
By yon' pure crystal fountain
FAm
And on it i will build
Am/DAm/G
All the flowers of the mountain
C
Will ye go, Lassie, go
Chorus
FC
And we'll all go together
FAm
To pluck wild mountain thyme
Am/DAm/G
All around the blooming heather
C
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
FC
I would surely find another

And we'll all go together
FAm
To pluck wild mountain thyme
Am/DAm/G
All around the blooming heather

Will ye go, Lassie, go

And we'll all go together
FAm
To pluck wild mountain thyme

All around the blooming heather
