Bonnie St. Johnstone

Written by Trad. Arr. R. Thompson (Chords by Justus)

1000 years of popular music

The Chords are right in my opinion. But it wont't sound like the album

you just play them.

You have to alter the chords for example play this instead of an A

--------------|

--------------|

----2---2---2-|

---2---1---2--|

--0---0---0---|

And use the powerchords for the D major.

If you get it right this is an awesome, sad and very hard song to sing.

cheers, J.

Dbm E A B
Leaned her back against an oak, Edinburgh, Edinburgh
Dbm E A
Leaned her back against an oak, Stirling for ay
D Dbm A B
Leaned her back against an oak, first it bent and then it broke
Dbm E A
And Bonny St. Johnstone lies fair upon Tay

Leaned her back against a thorn, Edinburgh, Edinburgh

Leaned her back against a thorn, Stirling for ay

Leaned her back against a thorn, two bonniest babes that e’er were born

And Bonny St. Johnstone lies fair upon Tay

She’s pulled out her snow-white breast, Edingburgh, Edinburg

She’s pulled out her snow-white breast, Stirling for ay

She’s pulled out her snow-white breast, and bid them suck, though it was the

last

And Bonny St. Johnstone lies fair upon Tay

She pulled out out her little knife, Edinburgh, Edinburgh

She pulled out out her little knife, Stirling for ay

She pulled out out her little knife, And pirced away their tender life
