[Intro]

C  F  C  F  C  F  C
[Verse]
Oh, I'll sing you a stave, if you'll Fgies your attention
It's Cno song of Gpity, it's Fno tale of Gwoe
And Em7no word of honour or Clove will I mention
But I'll sing of a Flassie I Gkent long aCgo
[Chorus]
No Fbetter than Cmost, and Fno worse as Cmany
And what drew me to her's no' easy to Gsay
She was Ccoarse, she was Fheartless, and she Cwasnae that Fbonnie
She was the Cstar o' the Gbar in her Cday
[Verse]
I've stravaiged the Royal Mile with her, Fdrinking in style with her
And CRose Street, from Gend to end, Foften surGveyed
Fought Em7and swore in the pubs with her, Crolled in the dubs with her
Cadged many's a Fsub from her, Gnever reCpaid
[Chorus]
No Fbetter than Cmost, and Fno worse as Cmany
And what drew me to her's no' easy to Gsay
She was Ccoarse, she was Fheartless, and she Cwasnae that Fbonnie
She was the Cstar o' the Gbar in her Cday
[Verse]
All you chaps with young lassies, believe Fme, love soon passes
And Call your bright Gdreams are but Fstraws in the Gwind
Better Em7one who'll sit down with you, Csing a fine tune with you
Pass the glass 'Fround with you, Gdrink herself Cblind
[Chorus]
No Fbetter than Cmost, and Fno worse as Cmany
And what drew me to her's no' easy to Gsay
She was Ccoarse, she was Fheartless, and she Cwasnae that Fbonnie
She was the Cstar o' the Gbar in her Cday
[Chorus]
No Fbetter than Cmost, and Fno worse as Cmany
And what drew me to her's no' easy to Gsay
She was Ccoarse, she was Fheartless, and she Cwasnae that Fbonnie
But she was the Cstar o' the Gbar in her Cday
