[Chorus]
       Dm
Oh, my love said to me
          Bbsus2
"Will you meet me
 by the sea?
         F
You can kiss
 me underneath
            C
 the misty moon."
        Dm
She is stunning,
 she is pretty, she's
    Bbsus2
as warm as amber whisky
       Bbsus2
And as bonny as the
  C              F
 heather on the hill
(Oh, my love)

[Verse 1]
Dm
When I was a young boy
     Bbsus2
 my mother said to me
 F
"Find yourself a pretty
              C
 lass, don't take her
love for free"
      Dm
From fields of Aberfeldy
         Bbsus2
 to the shores of
Loch Maree
  Bbsus2
I know that she's the
  C           F
 only one for me

[Verse 2]
         Dm
She was dancing by the
            Bbsus2
fire as a piper played a tune
      F
She wrapped her arms
                    C
around me and she asked
"Are you my groom?"
   Dm
A dram of amber whisky
         Bbsus2
and a twinkle in her eye
    Bbsus2
We danced beneath
     C         F
the Caledonia sky

[Chorus]
       Dm
Oh, my love said to me
          Bbsus2
 "Will you meet me

 she's as warm as
 amber whisky
       Bbsus2        C
And as bonny as the heather
         F
 on the hill

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, my love (Oh my love)
        C
She is stunning,
                           Dm
she is pretty, she's as warm
as amber whisky
       Bbsus2
And as bonny as the
