Fm Eb
Mach [Mirk] and rainy is the nicht [night]
Fm Db Eb
There's no a star in a' the carry
Fm Eb
Lightning gleams athwart the lift
Fm Db Eb
And winds drive on with winter's fury
[Chorus:]
Ab Ab
O are you sleepin' Maggie
Eb Eb
O are you sleepin' Maggie
Fm Fm Eb
Let me in, for loud the linn
Fm Db Eb
Is roaring now o'er the warlacragie [warlock craigie]
Fearfu' socks the boortree bank
The rifted wood roars wild and dreary
Loud the iron yet does clank
And cry of howlets mak me eerie
Aboon my breath I daurna speak
For fear I'll rise your waalkrife daddie
Cold's the blast upon my cheek
Arise, Arise, my bonnie lady
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Fm// F/ Eb//
Fm// Db/ Eb/
[Chorus]
She's op'ed the door, she's let him in
He's cruist aside his dreeping plaidie
Blow your worst ye rainie wind
Since Maggie now I'm in asideya
New since you're walkin' Maggie
New since you're walkin' Maggie
What care I for howlets cry
For roaring linn or warlacragie
[bridge]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official MACLEAN DOUGIE tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
