G             A 
Where are you? I love you.   
D             Bm                 Intro 
Where are you? I love you. 
G           A           D 
Where are you to keep me warm? 
 
D 
I had a dream 
G 
Of a place far away. 
D                                verse 1 
I followed a river 
G 
Where the dead man would play. 
 
Bm                     G 
And I'm leaving in the morning. 
Bm                     G               Pre-Chorus 1 
And I'm leaving in the morning.                   
D           A             D            G 
And I won't die, so don't cry. I'll be home. 
 
      D         A 
Those big black diamonds 
      D           A 
That lie there for me. 
        D          A              Chorus 1 
By the tall white mountains 
      D          A 
Which lie by the sea. 
 
And you a man 
Whom as tall as the sky            verse 2 
Followed a river 
Where thousands have died. 
 
He was leaving in the morning.  
He was leaving in the morning. He said,    Pre-Chorus 2 
If I come home and my women has flown. 
 
Those big black diamonds 
That lie there for me.           Chorus 2 
By the tall white mountains 
Which lie by the sea. 
 
D              A    C    D 
Say goodbye to auld lang syne     Outro
