NORTHERN LIGHTS OF OLD ABERDEEN
Scottish folk song
Key: D
Time: 3/4
3 3 2 -2� 3 3 4 -3 -3� 3
6 6 5 -5 6 6 7 -7 -6 6
When I was a lad, a ti-ny wee lad,
-2� 3 -2� 2 -2�3
-5 6 -5 5 -5 6
my moth-er said to me,
3 3 2 3 3 4 -3 -3� 3
6 6 5 6 6 7 -7 -6 6
"Come see the North-ern Lights my boy,
-2� 3 -2� 2 -1 1
-5 6 -5 5 -4 4
they're bright as they can be."
3 -3� -2� -3� 4 -3 -3� 3 3
6 -6 -5 -6 7 -7 -6 6 6
She called them the heav-en-ly danc-ers,
3 3 -3� -2�-3�4-3 -3�-3
6 6 -6 -5 -67 -7 -6-7
Mer-ry danc-ers in the sky,
3 3 3 2 3 3 3 -3 -3� 3
6 6 6 5 6 6 7 -7 -6 6
I'll nev-er for-get that won-der-ful sight,
-2� 3 -2� 2 2 -1 1
-5 6 -5 5 5 -4 4
they made the heav-ens bright.
Chorus:
3 1 1 2 2 -1 1 -1 1
6 4 4 5 5 -4 4 -4 4
The North-ern Lights of Ab-er-deen
3 -3�-3�-2�3 -3� 3
6 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
are what I long to see;
3 -3� -3� -2� -3�3 2 -1
6 -6 -6 -5 -6 6 5 -4
The North-ern Lights of Ab-er-deen,
1 -1 -1 2 1 3
4 -4 -4 5 4 6
that's where I long to be.
3 1 1 2 2 -1 1 -1 1
6 4 4 5 5 -4 4 -4 4
I've been a wan-d'rer all of my life
3 -3�-3�-2� 3 -3� 3
6 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 6
and man-y a sight I've seen.
3 -3� -2� 4 -3� 3 2 4 4
6 -6 -5 7 -6 6 5 7 7
God speed the day when I'm on my way
4 -3� -3 4 4 4 4
7 -6 -7 7 7 7 7
to my home in Ab-er-deen.
I've wandered in many far-off lands,
and travelled many a mile,
I've missed the folk I've cherished most,
the joy of a friendly smile.
It warms up the heart of the wand'rer
the clasp of a welcoming hand.
To greet me when I return,
home to my native land.
Chorus:
