No, but the tune is here, and the lyrics are in the DT here. Can you figure out the chords from the tune?

Can't transcribe all the numbers into anything meaningful to get chords.

Here's my simplified version:

  A
  There's a moment of your story
           D
  That has always haunted me
           A
  When you set out in yon open boat
                       E
  To help the poor man flee
      A
  Was Charlie Stuart's future
    D
  Already plain to see
          A              E             A D A
  Did you know he'd be a waster all his days
  
         E                 D        A
  If you did, I'd give the world to find
    E               A D A
  A single tear you cried
           E                D    A
  From the Cuillins tae the Carolinas
  A
  You showed us one and all
  A
  The courage you could call
           D                    E
  From the tears that would not fall
            A D A
  From your eyes
  

Actually I capo it up to a comfortable range for my voice, either 2 or 3, depending.
