Am C G Am F G C

[Verse 1]
Am            C            G            Am  F C         G
These are the words that I stole from a bird, over and above
Am            C            G           Am  F G   C
These are the cards I play close to my heart, my love

[Verse 2]
Am              C             G         Am F  C             G
All through the dreich it was you I did seek, lowlands and above
Am                C           G               Am   F G   C
Strange were your ways with a strange turn of phrase, my love

[Chorus]
F C   G   Am      C         G
Oh my darling, my fortunate find
F   C       G          Am        F    G  C
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine

[Bridge]

[Verse 3]
Am            C              G          Am   F C         G
These are the notes that the canny wind wrote, over and above
Am           C          G         Am F G   C
Roll off the sea with a blue melody,    my love

[Chorus]
F C   G   Am      C         G
Oh my darling, my fortunate find
F   C       G          Am        F    G  C
You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine

Am                C           G               Am   F G   C
Strange were your ways with a strange turn of phrase, my love

[Chorus]

Oh my darling, my fortunate find

You do your best to be true, and I'll do mine
