Wild Mountain Thyme (easy guitar lesson)

#wildmountainthyme #easyguitar #guitarlesson
Wild Mountain Thyme is a wonderful Scottish traditional folk song suitable for beginners. There are five easy chords in the song - G C D Em & Am.
O the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly bloomin'
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go Lassie Go?
Chorus:
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather
Will ye go Lassie Go?
I will build my love a bower
By yon cool crystal fountain
And round it I will pile
All the wild flowers o' the mountain
Will ye go Lassie Go?

Thanks for these folk songs. It feels good, if only there was a folk revival I mean as in the 60s...🎶🎶🎶

Thanks for this, Simon! I've been playing Bm instead of D, but I find I like playing the D as well (sometimes with F# in the bass).

Updated version by Maggie Riley ex of Cado Belle and collaboration with Mike Oldfield has done a version worth a listen

Hey Simon, many thanks for the tutorial. Unfortunately there's no fret that can accommodate my voice. Either there's something wrong with my voice or my guitar. I'm guessing it's the former rather than the latter. 😄
