| Song: | NORTHERN LIGHTS OF OLD ABERDEEN
Scottish folk song Key: D Time: 3/4 -3 -3 -2* 3 -3 -3 -5 4* -4 -3 When I was a lad, a ti-ny wee lad, 3 -3 3 -2* 3 -3 my moth-er said to me, -3 -3 -2* -3 -3 -5 4* -4 -3 "Come see the North-ern Lights my boy, 3 -3 3 -2* 2 -1 they're bright as they can be." -3 -4 3 -4 -5 4* -4 -3 -3 She called them the heav-en-ly danc-ers, -3 -3 -4 3 -4-5 4*-4 4* Mer-ry danc-ers in the sky, -3 -3 -3 -2* -3 -3 -5 4* -4 -3 I'll nev-er for-get that won-der-ful sight, 3 -3 3 -2* -2* 2 -1 they made the heav-ens bright. Chorus: -3 -1 -1 -2* -2* 2 -1 2 -1 The North-ern Lights of Ab-er-deen -3 -4 -4 3 -3 -4 -3 are what I long to see; -3 -4 -4 3 -4 -3 -2* 2 The North-ern Lights of Ab-er-deen, -1 2 2 -2* -1 -3 that's where I long to be. -3 -1 -1 -2* -2* 2 -1 2 -1 I've been a wan-d'rer all of my life -3 -4 -4 3 -3 -4 -3 and man-y a sight I've seen. -3 -4 3 -5 -4 -3 -2* -5 -5 God speed the day when I'm on my way -5 -4 4* -5 -5 -5 -5 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: |
