This is an old song that sounds lovely on the Piano-Accordion.
(beginners can simplify Bdim/G to G and Am7 to Am).
I suggest reading the history behind this song, because it adds a new depth to
the understanding of the beauty of this piece. AMouse197.

G Bdim/G C D
By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes,
Where the sGun shines brEmight on Loch CLo-mDon'.
where Cme and meG true love were eAm7ver wont to gCae
On the bGonnie, bonnie bCanks o' Loch DLo-Gmon'.
Chorus:
G Bdim/G C D
O ye'll tak' the high road and I'll tak the low road,
An' IG'll be in ScEmotland aCfore yDe;
But Cme and me tGrue love will nAm7ever mAmeet agCain
On the bGonnie, bonnie bCanks o' Loch DLo-Gmon'.
G Bdim/G C D
'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen,
On the sGteep, steep Emsides o' Ben CLo-mDon',
Where in dCeep purple Ghue the HieAm7land hAmills we vCiew,
An' the mGoon comin' oCut in the gDloa-mGin'.
(chorus)
G Bdim/G C D
The wee birdies sing and the wild flow'rs spring,
And in sGunshine the Emwaters lie slCee-pDin';
But the brCoken heart it kGen nae secoAm7nd sprAming agCain,
Tho' the Gwaefu' may cCease frae their Dgree-Gtin'
