A Bonnie Wee Lassie by Burl Ives - Guitar Chords

Version 1
            [Verse 1]
E                         A           E
A bonnie wee lassie whose name it was Nell
A                          B7          E
Lived in a house where her Grandmother dwelled.
                                A          E
The house it was small, and the windows no less.
A                      B7       E
Having four panes, one needed a glass.
                              A
That nice little window, that cute little window
     B7                                    E
That sweet little window where grandmother dwelled.


[Verse 2]
    E                     A         E
“Oh Johnnie, oh Johnnie I think it amiss
       A                  B7          E
Before going away just to give me one kiss
                          A            E
“That I will Nellie”, he answered her true
A                  B7             E
To her surprise he poked his head through
                              A
That hole in the window, that nice little window
     B7                                   E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled.


[Verse 3]
   E                          A             E
He gave her three ,kisses and great was the smack
          A        B7                    E
To her surprise he couldn’t get his head back
                              A
From that hole in the window, that nice little window
     B7                                   E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled.

 
[Verse 4]
   E                          A              E
He ripped and he tore, and he cursed, and he swore
     A                    B7                E
Grandma heard the racket, jumped out on the floor
                                A             E
She grabbed for the poker and a lick she gave one
A                            B7            E
Another like that would have broke his backbone
                                  A
With his head in the window, that nice little window
     B7                                   E
That cute little window where grandmother dwelled.


[Verse 5]
    E                     A          E
She lifted the ladle from out of the pot
   A                   B7         E
No batter ere took the beating he got
                          A              E
He ran down the road with might and with main
      A                        B7           E
While around his shoulder, the sash and the frame
                                 A
Of that cute little window, that sweet little window
     B7                                   E
That nice little window where grandmother dwelled.
