Judy Collins - Loch Lomond
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
C F C F
[Verse 1]
By Cyon bonnie Ambanks, and by Dmyon bonnie Gbraes
Where the Csun shines Ambright on Loch FLo-Gmond
Where Fme and my Amtrue love spent Fmany happy Gdays
On the Cbonnie, bonnie Fbanks of Loch GLo-Cmond
[Verse 2]
'Twas there that we Amparted in Dmyon shady Gglen
On the Csteep, steep Amsides of Ben FLo-Gmond
Where Fin purple Amhue the FHighland hills we Gview
And the Cmoon glints Fout in the GgloaCming
[Chorus]
You'll take the Amhigh road and FI'll take the Glow road
And CI'll be in AmScotland aFfore Gye
Where Fme and my Amtrue love will Fnever meet aGgain
On the Cbonnie, bonnie Fbanks of Loch GLo-Cmond
[Verse 3]
Where wild flowers Amspring and the Dmwee birdies Gsing
On the Csteep, steep Amsides of Ben FLo-Gmond
But the Fbroken Amheart it Fkens nae second Gspring
Though Cresigned we may Fbe while we're GgreetCing
[Chorus]
You'll take the Amhigh road and FI'll take the Glow road
And CI'll be in AmScotland aFfore Gye
Where Fme and my Amtrue love will Fnever meet aGgain
On the Cbonnie, bonnie Fbanks of Loch GLo-Cmond
[Chorus]
You'll take the Amhigh road and FI'll take the Glow road
And CI'll be in AmScotland aFfore Gye
Where Fme and my Amtrue love will Fnever meet aGgain
On the Cbonnie, bonnie Fbanks of Loch GLo-Cmond

The story behind the song

"Loch Lomond" is a traditional Scottish folk song with origins thought to date back to the Jacobite rising of 1745. The lyrics are often interpreted as a lament from a soldier during the Jacobite rebellion, possibly rueing his sacrifice or speaking his final words before execution. The "low road" in the song is believed to be a Celtic mythological fairy route for a soldier's soul to return home. Judy Collins, known for her eclectic tastes and clear voice, has recorded this traditional folk song.
