The Scotsman chords by Traditional

E        A      B        E
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
  E         A            E          B
And one could tell by how he walked that he’d drunk more than his share
  A        E        A        B?
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
    E       A        B        E?
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
A           A    E        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
  E       A        B        E?
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street

 E         A        B          E
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
  E        A      E       B?
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
A        E      A          B
?See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
 E       A          B        E?
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt
A           A    E        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E       A          B        E?
I wonder if it’s true what they don’t wear beneath the kilt

   E        A         B       E
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
E       A       E         B
?Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
  A        E      A          B
?And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
  E         A         B       E
?Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
A           A    E        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
  E         A         B       E?
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth

   E       A        B        E
They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
   E        A       E       B
?Let’s leave a present for our friend before we move along
   A        E        A      B?
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
 E        A       B         E?
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
A           A    E        B
?Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E        A       B         E
?Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show

    E        A         B          E
Now the Scotsman woke to nature’s call and stumbled toward the trees
 E       A         E        B?
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
  A       E        A         B
?And in a startled voice he says to what’s before his eyes
 E        A          B         E?
O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
A           A    E        B?
Ring ding diddle iddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
 E        A          B         E
?O lad I don’t know where you been but I see you won first prize
