The Scotsman Chords

[Verse 1]
 
 
D                                G             A               D
Oh a Scotsman dressed all in his kilt left the bar one evening fair
D                         G                   D                  A
And one could tell by the way he walked he'd drunk more than his share
G                                     D               A
He staggered 'round until he could no longer keep his feet
D                   G                 A                D
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                   G                 A                D
And he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
 
D                       G                A                  D
Now about that time two young and lovely girls were passing by
D                     G            D              A
And one looked to the other with a twinkle in her eye
G                             D                   A
"See yon sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built?
D                G                  A                   D
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing beneath his kilt"
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                G                  A                   D
I wonder if it's true that he wears nothing beneath his kilt"
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
 
D                    G                 A              D
They crept up to the sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
D                 G             D                  A
And lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
G                              D                    A
Lo and behold for them to view beneath the Scottish skirt
D                     G                  A             D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                     G                  A             D
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
 
D             G                      A                D
They marveled for a minute then they said "we must be gone.
D                 G        D                A
Let's leave him a souvenir before we travel on"
G                                      D           A
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
D                G                   A                 D
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                G                   A                 D
Around the bonny star the Scotsman's kilt did lift and show
 
 
[Verse 5]
 
 
D                        G                 A              D
Now the Scotsman rose to Nature's call and headed for the trees
D                G                D                A
He lifted up his kilt and then he gawks at what he sees
G                                   D                 A
And in his drunken voice he says to what's before his eyes
D                    G                       A                    D
"Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize"
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                    G                       A                    D
"Oh lad I don't know where you've been but I see you've won first prize"
 
 
[Verse 6]
 
 
D                         G               A                  D
Our Scottish friend still dressed in kilt continued down the street
D              G                       D                  A
He hadn’t gone 10 yards or more when a girl he chanced to meet
G                                        D                    A
She said, I've heard what’s under there, please tell me is it so.
D                       G                     A              D
He said, just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                       G                     A              D
He said, just slip your hand up miss if you'd really like to know.
 
 
[Verse 7]
 
 
D                      G               A           D
She put her hand right up his kilt and much to her surprise
D                   G                      D              A
The Scotsman he did smile at her and got a twinkle in his eyes.
G                                   D                      A
She cried, Why Sir that’s gruesome! And then she heard him roar
D                 G                          A                   D
If you reach your hand right up again you’ll find it’s grew some more!
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                 G                          A                   D
If you reach your hand right up again you’ll find it’s grew some more!
 
 
[Verse 8]
 
 
D                             G                       A                 D
Now the Scotsman’s hands were numb with drink and his head was spinning round.
D                    G             D               A
He couldn’t get that ribbon off so homeward he was bound
G                                   D                  A
His wife she caught a flash of blue as he took off his clothes
D                 G                A          D
And it piqued her curiosity as one might well suppose.
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D       G       A       D
And it piqued her curiosity as one might well suppose.
 
 
[Verse 9]
 
 
D                       G                  A                  D
Well then she asked her husband where he’d been and what he’d done
D               G                     D                 A
He said there’d been a contest at the pub and that he’d won
G                                      D                  A
She cried, “did you show that thing off In front of all those men?"
D                  G                 A                D
"I did not show it all my love but I showed enough to win."
 
[Chorus]
 
G                                 D                 A
Ring ding diddle dliddle aye E O, ring aye diddly I Oh
D                  G                 A                D
"I did not show it all my love but I showed enough to win."
