CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO:   C    F    C    F    C(2x)
'Twas on a summer's afternoon
A Fwee before the sun went down
My Classie with her brand new gown
Came Fover the hills to CGowrieF  C  F  C  
I praised her beauty loud and long
And 'Fround her waist my arms I flungC  
I said, "My dearie, will you come
To Fsee the Glen of CGowrie?"
"I'll take you to yon wooded dale
Where Fblooms the purple heather bell
CThere we'll tarry for awhile
AFfore we go to CGowrie"
CHORUS:
Like a  rosebud wet from morning shower
Blooming Ffresh within the sunny bower
Am7Katie was the Ffairest flower
That Cever bloomed in Gowrie
INSTRUMENTAL:    C     F     C    F    C(2x)
Soft kisses on her lips I laid
The Fblush upon her cheeks soon spread
She Cwhispered modestly and said,
"I'll Fgo with you to CGowrie"
I gently held her hand in mine
We Fwalked through fields of mountain thyme
I Cpromised her a love so fine
That Fbonnie lass of CGowrie?
CHORUS:
Like a  rosebud wet from morning shower
Blooming Ffresh within the sunny bower
Am7Katie was the Ffairest flower
That Cever bloomed in Gowrie
CHORUS:
Like a  rosebud wet from morning shower
Blooming Ffresh within the sunny bower
Am7Katie was the Ffairest flower
That Cever bloomed in Gowrie

A Fwee before the sun went down
My Classie with her brand new gown
Came Fo'er the hills of CGowrie
