Kate Rusby - Blooming Heather

blooming heather by kate rusby

this is mainly a song for a person with a good voice , the guitar part isn’t huge . the
chords used are here , i worked from the video

just pick through the chords , make sure the first note is the bass note of the chord and
fairly strong . standard tuning , no capo . Am/D = Am with open D string as th bass note ,
Am/G = Am with fret 3 of the bottom E string as the bass note .

intro : C

verse 1

C C
oh the summer time is coming
F C
and the trees are sweetly blooming
F Am
and the wild mountain thyme
Am/D Am/G
grows around the blooming heather
C
will ye go , lassie , go

chorus
F C
and we’ll all go together
F Am
to pluck wild mountain thyme
Am/D Am/G
all around the blooming heather
C
will ye go , lassie , go

verse 2
C C
i will build my love a tower
F C
by yon’ pure crystal fountain
F Am
and on it i will build
Am/D Am/G
all the flowers of the mountain

will ye go , lassie , go

chorus
F C
and we’ll all go together
F Am
to pluck wild mountain thyme
Am/D Am/G
