[Intro]
D5      A G

[Verse 1]
   D  D5            D          D5
As I roved out of a bright May morning
         D     G       A
Calm and clear was the weather
       D5                   D     D/F# G
Well I chanced to roam some miles from home
D         D/F#      A        G
Among the beautiful blooming heather
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
       D5                  D     D/F# G
And I chanced to roam some miles from home
D         D/F#      A        G
Among the beautiful blooming heather
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor


[Verse 2]
     D     D5            D       D5
As I roved along with my hunting song
       D                 G   A
And my heart as light as any feather
  D5                 D    D/F#  G
I met a pretty maid along the way
        D            D/F#     A        G
She was tripping the dew down from the heather
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
    D5                   D    D/F#  G
And I met a pretty maid along the way
        D            D/F#     A        G
She was tripping the dew down from the heather
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor


[Verse 3]
D     D5                  D           D5
Where are you going to my pretty fair maid?
   D                 G       A
By hill or dale come tell me whether
      D5           D  D/F#  G
Right modestly she answered me
       D       D/F#  A      G
To the feeding of my lamb’s together
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
      D5           D  D/F#  G
Right modestly she answered me
       D       D/F#  A      G
To the feeding of my lamb’s together
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor


[Verse 4]
        D    D5              D       D5
Well we both shook hands and down we sat
       D                G      A
For it being the finest day in summer
       D5                       D     D/F#   G
And we sat till the red setting beams of the sun
       D         D/F#  A        G
Came a-sparkling down among the heather
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
       D5                       D     D/F#   G
And we sat till the red setting beams of the sun
       D         D/F#  A        G
Came a-sparkling down among the heather
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor


[Verse 5]
D   D5         D    D5
Now she says I must away
       D              G       A
For my sheep and lambs have strayed from other
    D5            D    D/F# G
But I am loath to part from you
   D          D/F#         A          G
As those fond lambs are to part their mother
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
    D5            D    D/F# G
But I am loath to part from you
   D          D/F#         A          G
As those fond lambs are to part their mother
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor


[Verse 6]
D  D5           D        D5
Up she rose and away she goes
        D                G        A
And her place and name I know not either
       D5             D    D/F# G
But if I was king I’d make her queen
    D      D/F#  A       G
The lass I met among the heather
         D5                   A        D5
And it’s heather on the moor, over the heather
D5       D/F#     G         A
Over the moor and among the heather
       D5             D    D/F# G
But if I was king I’d make her queen
    D      D/F#  A       G
The lass I met among the heather
         D5                    A  G
And it’s heather on the moor
