Ae Fond Kiss
G C Em
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever
C G
Ae farewell, and then forever
C Em
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
G D G D Em C
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
G C Em
Who shall say that Fortune grieves him,
C G
While the star of hope she leaves him?
C Em
Me, nae cheerful twinkle lights me;
G D G D Em C
Dark despair around benights me.
G C Em
I'll ne'er blame my partial fancy,
C G
Naething could resist my Nancy
C Em
But to see her was to love her;
G D G D Em C
Love but her, and love for ever.
G C Em
Had we never lov'd sae kindly,
C G
Had we never lov'd sae blindly,
C Em
Never met-or never parted,
G D G D Em C
We had ne'er been broken-hearted.
G C Em
Fare-thee-weel, thou first and fairest!
C G
Fare-thee-weel, thou best and dearest!
C Em
Thine be ilka joy and treasure,
G D G D Em C
Peace, Enjoyment, Love and Pleasure!
G C Em
Ae fond kiss, and then we sever!
C G
Ae fareweel alas, for ever!
C Em
Deep in heart-wrung tears I'll pledge thee,
G D G D Em C
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage thee.
