Thread Name: Tune Req: Queen of All Argyll
Subject: RE: Tune Req: Queen of All Argyll
These are the chords I use (based on Jill Anderson's interpretation)
Queen of Argyll
(Em) Am Am Em G
Gentle men it is me duty To inform you of one beauty
Em G D Bm
Though I'd ask of you a favour, not to seek her for a while
Em Em Em G
Though I own she is a creature Of character and feature
Em G D Em
No words can paint the picture of the Queen of ole Argyll
CHORUS
Em Em Em G
And if you could have seen her there, boys if you had just been there
Em G D Bm
The swan was in her movement, and the morning in her smile
Em Em Em G
All the roses in the garden, they bow and ask her pardon
Em G D Em
For not one could match the beauty of the queen of ole Argyll
On that evening that I mention, I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country known for beauty and for style
Being a place of noble thinkers, of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendour shone the Queen of Ole Argyll
CHORUS
So my lads my needs must leave you, my intention not to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you, oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her, to court her and to tame her
I fear my heart's in danger from the Queen of ole Argyll
CHORUS
