    The Queen of Argyll
    (A. M. Stewart [1987], arrang. J. Ferguson, Apr. 2013)
    Capo @ 3, 80 bpm
    Intro: Am G Em G Am [repeat]
    V1.
    Am
    Gentlemen, it is me duty
    Am G
    to inform you of one beauty,
    Am
    though I'd ask of you the favour
    G Em
    not to seek her for a while.
    Am
    Though I own she is a creature
    G
    of such character and feature
    Am G
    no words could paint the picture
    Em G Am
    of the Queen of all Argyll.
    Chorus:
    And if you could have seen her there,
    boys, if you had just been there,
    the swan was in her movement
    and the mornin’ in her smile.
    All the roses in the garden,
    they’d bow and ask her pardon,
    for not one could match the beauty
    of the Queen of all Argyll.
    Interlude: Am G Em G Am [repeat]
    V2.
    On the evening that I mention,
    I passed with light intention
    through a part of our dear country
    known for beauty and for style.
    Bein’ the place of noble thinkers,
    of scholars and great drinkers,
    but above them all for splendour
    shone the Queen of all Argyll.
    Chorus:
    V3.
    So, me lads, I needs must leave you;
    my intention’s no' to grieve you,
    nor indeed would I deceive you.
    Oh, I'll see you in a while.
    I must find some way to gain her,
    to court her and attain her.
    I fear my heart's in danger
    from the Queen of all Argyll.
    Chorus [repeat]
    Outro: Am G Em G Am [repeat]

    Probably the best solo cover of this "classic" tune penned by Andy M. Stewart...
    liked the straight-forward guitar accompaniment... lets your fine voice shine through.
