The Work Of The Weavers (chrom)

Scottish folk song
Key: G

-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
We’re all met to-geth-er here
-5 6 7 7 -5
To sit and to crack
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
Wi’ our glass-es in our hands
-5 -5 -5 -5 -8 -8 -7
And our work up on our back
-4 5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5
And there’s nae a trade a-mong ‘em
-5 -5 6 6 7 7 -5
That can ei-ther mend nor mak’
-4 5 -5 -5 6 6 -5 -8 8 -7 7
If it was-na’ for the work of the weav-ers
7 -7 -8 -8 -8 -8 -7 -7
If it was-na’ for the weav-ers
7 7 7 -6*
What would they do
6 6 6 -5 7 8 8 -8 -7
We would-na’ have cloth made of our wool
-5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5
We would-na’ have a coat,
6 6 7 7 -5
Nei-ther black nor blue
-4 5 -5 -5 6 6 -5
Gin(if) it was-na’ for the work
-8 -8 -7 7
Of the weav-ers
