   Green grow the rashes, O
    G                   C/G
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
    G               F       Fm   E

---------------------------------------- verse 1
C                    Dadd4         C
  There's nought but care on ev'ry han'
         Dadd4          
In every hour that passes, O
C           Dadd4            C

An' riches still may fly them, O
C             Dadd4                C
  An' tho' at last they catch them fast
      F/C                G/D
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them,
      F/C                G/D
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them,

Green grow the rashes, O           
Green grow the rashes, O
The sweetest hours that e'er I spent
Are spent amang the lasses, O

---------------------------------------- verse 3, same guitar as verse 1

But gie me a cannie hour at e'en     
My arms about my Dearie, O
An' warly cares, an' warly men
May a' gae tapsalteerie, O         

---------------------------------------- verse 4, same guitar as verse 1

For you sae douse, ye sneer at this        
Ye're nought but senseless asses, O
The wisest Man the warl' e'er saw
He dearly lov'd the lasses

---------------------------------------- verse 5, same gutiar as verse 1

Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears
Her noblest work she classes, O
Her prentice han' she try'd on man
An' then she made the lasses, 
An' then she made the lasses,
