Tartan Is the Colour of My True Love's Hair

(written by Mark Mulholland & Kyf Brewer)

as performed by Barleyjuice

[Verse 1]
G C G
Well when I was just a young lad, my life about to start
C D
There was ever only one girl had a place inside my heart
G C G C
We walked the glen, we climbed the Ben, the forest was our bed,
G C G D G
And many a morn I'd wake to find me kilt across her head

[Chorus]
C G C G
And I've been up and I've been down and I've been here and I've been there
C D
Never seen a bonny lassie quite as comely or as fair
G C G
You can talk of pretty maidens and I don't bloody care
C G D G
Cause tartan is the colour of my true love's hair

[Interlude]
G G C G
** whistling **
G C G D G

[Verse 2]
G C G
We walked the bonnie highlands, no matter what the weather
C D
And we'd shag each other senseless in that bonnie purple heather
G C G C
'Til one day we were frolicking and as my true love laughed,
G C G D G
She fell into the workings of an old disused mineshaft

[Chorus]
C G C G
And I been up and I been down and I been here and I been there
C D
Never seen a fallen lassie that gave me such despair
G C G
And maybe it's the whisky and I don't bloody care
C G D G
Cause tartan is the colour of my true love's hair

[Interlude]
G G C G
** whistling **
