And as I'm half Scottish and a lamentable
singer, I'm doing it.
For the flowers of the forest.

This is a love song which was written by Dave Swarbrick over here.
And it's a song called
Me With You. _ _
It's _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ nice to [B] sleep on the highest cliff for a minute or [G#] [A] two.
[B] And you find the writers down [F#] in all the singing in the [B] galleons.
_ [G#m] And it's nice to [Cm] walk it over [C#m] when it's a wet fall over [F#] in the morning.
[F] Did [C#m] you ever see [G#m] your father [E] go to sleep when the wind blows?
_ _ [B] That's me with you.
Your turn. _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [G#] _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D#] _ [F#m] _ [E] _ [D#] _ [E] Breaking up the [G#m] fresh bread from the crumbs on the bed.
I'm fine with that.
[C] [B] Smiling [F#] at the morning.
Tying up shoes.
[G#m] Think I'm going out.
[C#m] I'm as happy [G#] as a heifer when she's chewing [C#] the cud.
I'm as happy [F#] as a bubble [A] in mud.
[E] [C#] Did you ever hear [D#] the juice [E] slides from the inside?
_ _ _ [B] That's me with you.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ [B] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
Knowing the taints on the [B] aloe and the little bit of food you go.
_ [E] [B] And if you keep a horse of [F#] water sooner or later [B] he [A] turns [G#m] green.
[F#]
[E] Now it's nice to [G#] have a little.
[C#m] But don't you go much later [F#] for the meal.
[E]
I'm a purple [G#] black crow feeding [E] on a hedge row.
_ _ [G#m]
That's me with you.
[E] Now it's nice to stroll where every storm has rolled and it all smells good.
Ain't [B] it nice to see [F#] your eyes when you're home with your [B] mind and you haven't really got a [G#m] clue.
When [E] things [G#] don't belong.
[C#m] _ _
_ _ _ _ [D#] _ [E] _ _
That's me _ with you.
[B] _ Life's old after [E] and it's late.
[A] I'm [B] just sitting like a deserted [E] machine.
_ [A] _ [B] Happy as a fox out [E] on the midnight rain.
[F#] _ [B] Glad it's night along for when [E] friends get paid.
[B] I'm just lying in bed with a fresh [E] old newly laid.
