Meow ... Thanks for posting the correct version of this song. Katrina .... Here are the chords ... You might have to transpose them or use a capo to adjust to your vocal key . You alternate between Em and C thoughout the first verse and for the dip dip and swing and boom diddy-ah-da, boom-diddy-ah-da, boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom part . This is the traditional way to sing the song but with some added dip dip and swings , which round out the song nicely . LAND OF THE SILVER BIRCH Em C My paddle's keen and bright Em C Flashing with silver Em C Follow the wild goose flight Em C Dip, dip and swing Em C Dip, dip and swing her back Em C Flashing with silver Em C Swift as the wild goose flies Em C Dip, dip and swing Em C Land of the silver birch Em C Home of the beaver Am G Where still the mighty moose F G Wanders at will Am G Blue lake and rocky shore F G I will return once more Em C Dip dip and swing Em C Dip dip and swing Em C Em C Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, Boom-diddy-ah-da, bo-oo-oom I like to repeat the refrain as written ( land of the silver birch verse ) and then return to the first verse ( My paddle's keen and bright ) to end the song , as it returns again to the beginning melody and gives the song a more finished sound ...You can also add several dip dip and swings and boom -diddy-ahda's to end the song .
