G'day,

I'm not sure about the Dougie MacLean version but assuming it's the same tune these are my chords:-

AE FOND KISS

by Robert Burns

[C]Ae fond kiss and [F]then we [Am]sever
Ae fareweel al[G]as for ev[C]er
[F]Deep in heart-wrung [C]tears I'll [Am]pledge thee
[C]Warring [Am]sighs and [G]groans I'll wage [C]thee.

Cheers,
Alan

It should be noted that the tune used by Dougie MacLean is not that used by Burns. He used a tune called Rory Dall's Port. After his death another tune was used, and it is this tune that Dougie 'plays' around. The Corries version of this 'new' tune is closer to the melody called Hi Oro 'S Na Horo Eile (second set) found in MacDonald's Gesto Collection of Highland Music.
