Chords for The Corries --- Lord Yester

[Ab] This song comes from a fine old belief that if a warrior wasn't found on the field of battle,
you know, after the battle, if he wasn't either alive or if his body couldn't be found,
then he'd gone off somewhere else to fight for his maker in some other climb, perhaps in the
Crusades or something like that.
I suppose it was really to get over the sort of grief aspect,
if the bodies were kind of unrecognisable after a real fierce hand-to-hand battle,
then that kind of got over that.
But this did happen to one young lad, Lord Yester was his name,
and he took part in the Battle of Flodden and acquitted himself well, but he was never found
either alive or dead afterwards.
And there's a song by George Weir called Lord Yester.

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ Oh, my love has gone to Flodden Grave To dance at Branc's homely
_ And ere the night will turn to day He will dance near Merwin Yee
_ Maybe he's gone to Israel With freedom's lands to sell
Or maybe he has gone to _ Bethlehem For to find a golden bell
_ Oh, _ _ _ _ _

_ _ my love may come another day For golden hours are few _
And like broken dreams that melt away Before the dawn is new
_ Maybe [G]
he's gone [C] to Byzantine Along the lonely [G] trail

Oh, _ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
my love may find the golden fleece Or wear the martyr's gown
_ Or honour bides by him Quaff eggs [Em] Beneath the [C] cross and crown
_ Maybe he's gone with James and John To fish by Galilee
_ Or maybe he has gone with a fisherman To find discovery _ _
