My dad is scottish, and I grew up hearing him playing this on his guitar. I've been a fan of robins music both solo and in fleet foxes. Over the last few years i've also got into old scottish and irish folk and learnt a lot of dads old songs...today I showed dad a few of these white antelope covers...now he likes fleet foxes and I like burl ives and clancy bros. full circle
Oh the summer time is coming And the leaves are sweetly turning And the wild mountain thyme Blooms across the purple heather Will you go, lassie, go If you will not go with me I will surely find another To pull wild mountain thyme All across the bloomin' heather Will you go, lassie, go And we'll all go together To pull wild mountain thyme All across the bloomin' heather Will you go, lassie, go
I have Chords provided, accurate as I can manage. Enjoy!! Robin Pecknold usually uses alternative tunings and this cover is no different. To get the added bass. Be in Drop D tuning with a capo on the 4th fret. (E A D G B e) will still be used for reference. (Half strums for quiet moments. Full strums for louder moments. And some hammer off's and on's will be all that's left!) *D Chord:* E open. A open. D open. G 2nd fret. B 3rd fret. e 2nd fret. (I like to wrap my thumb around for the top notes of G.) *G Chord:* E 5th fret. A 5th fret. D open. G open. B 3rd fret. e 3rd fret *F# minor Chord:* bar on 2nd fret. E 4th fret. A 4th fret. D 4th fret. G open. B open. e open. *Em Chord:* E 2nd fret. A 2nd fret. D 2nd fret. G open. B open. e open. I hope this helped anyone!
Here's a version with regular tuning. Tune down to D to match this song. Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I know how to hear and find chords but I don't always know the proper terminology. What I do know is that this song was so much fun to figure out and the chords are fun to play. ------- G/G2 refers to alternating back and forth between a G chord and an open G chord, which is a G chord with your index finger pulled off. Am/A2 refers to alternating back and forth between an Am and an A sus2 (so Google says), which is an Am chord with your index finger pulled off. Bb/B2 refers to alternating back and forth between Bb and an a Bb with your middle finger pulled off. Alternate back and forth between G/G2 and Am/A2 and Bm/B2 when appropriate to match the song.

Edgar Carrasco, You were right about the chords but I believe he is playing on the 4th fret (I'm pretty sure he is fretting a D chord at the beginning). The chord progression would be this: ''(D)Oh the summer (G)time (D)is coming. And the (Em)leaves are sweetly (F#m)turning. And the (Em)wild (F#m)mountain (Em)thyme, blooms a-(G)cross the (Em)purple (G)heather. Will you (D)go (G)Lassie (D)go?''
I will surely find another God is Love and the Grace of God Christ Jesus has risen! for you to TAKE and hold in your Hearts for Jesus is the Key to Eternal Salvation Heed these words friends for they are The Truth naked bare for EVERYONE If you believe this please share with anyone you can Jesus lives inside us all

This is my absolute favorite song of all time. It makes me feel exactly what I want to in this crazy world.
Big Robin is going to be an Honorary Scotsman before long, Silver dagger and false knight.
Mon big yin geese flowr a scotland x
Oh the summer time is coming
And the leaves are sweetly turning
And the wild mountain thyme
Blooms across the purple heather
Will you go, lassie, go
If you will not go with me
I will surely find another
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go
And we'll all go together
To pull wild mountain thyme
All across the bloomin' heather
Will you go, lassie, go

Please don't ever take this off UA-cam!
such dank
It's a beautiful version indeed. Thanks for comment!
I've been learning the old Irish Folk songs as well. If it wasn't for this cover, I would have never heard The Corries.
all the songs that he sings are so beautiful it makes me sad. whhaaaarrrha :()
I listened to this for about ten minutes straight, lol
Where. Do. I. Buy. This!
suddenly: Scottish patriotism
Edgar Carrasco, You were right about the chords but I believe he is playing on the 4th fret (I'm pretty sure he is fretting a D chord at the beginning).

''(D)Oh the summer (G)time (D)is coming. And the (Em)leaves are sweetly (F#m)turning. And the (Em)wild (F#m)mountain (Em)thyme, blooms a-(G)cross the (Em)purple (G)heather. Will you (D)go (G)Lassie (D)go?''
All correct except he goes from bminor to f minor
Don't you mean F# minor?
WHEN IS THE NEW ALBUM DROPPING HOMIE?!
Hopefully very, very soon!
I will surely find another
God is Love and the Grace of God Christ Jesus has risen! for you to TAKE and hold in your Hearts for Jesus is the Key to Eternal Salvation
Heed these words friends for they are The Truth naked bare for EVERYONE
If you believe this please share with anyone you can Jesus lives inside us all
You will, but it'll never be the same.
does anyone know of a site / torrent where I can get all Robin's side projects? or even a website that has it all available to Buy...
Reminds me of Uncle John's Band. (:
I wish Dolores had done a version of this.
Why so low? Here, have my upvote
RIP old Dane.
Big Fleet Fox fan …is this white antelope stuff available on CD ?
Can´t these quys cover some Simon and Garfunkel song.. ot would be awsome :)
What are the chords? I would love to learn to play this
Great rendition but nobody did this song like Van the Man. His version is called "Purple Heather". Check it out.
what the hell
oops, replied to the wrong comment!
@chelseamuse72 what is wrong with you!
oh yeah? fifteen, lol
the best version on here is by the Corries... by a country mile arekin!!!!
this is lovely but the Corries version is untouchable...check them out ! :)
This is so so so so so so BAD!!!!!
