very easy |||||
C                                                    F                                    G                                      C  
Well a Scotsman clad in kilt left a bar one evening fair
C                                                      F                                                            C                                                 G  
And one could tell by how he walked that he'd drunk more than his share
F                                              C                                      F                                      G  
He fumbled round until he could no longer keep his feet
                     C                    G            C              F                    G                                         C  
Then he stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
F                                                                                 C                                         G  
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
        C                    G            C              F                    G                                         C  
He stumbled off into the grass to sleep beside the street
C                                                 F                                         G                                                 C  
About that time two young and lovely girls just happened by
C                                                 F                              C                                    G  
And one says to the other with a twinkle in her eye
F                                              C                            F                                                 G  
See young sleeping Scotsman so strong and handsome built
     C              G                 C         F                                      G                                         C  
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
F                                                                                 C                                         G  
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
     C              G                 C         F                                      G                                         C  
I wonder if it's true what they don't wear beneath the kilt
C                                                      F                                            G                                    C  
They crept up on that sleeping Scotsman quiet as could be
C                                 F                                 C                                              G  
Lifted up his kilt about an inch so they could see
F                                                      C                                      F                                              G  
And there behold for them to view beneath his Scottish skirt
          C                 G                      C                 F                         G                                 C  
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
F                                                                                 C                                         G  
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
          C                 G                      C                 F                         G                                 C  
Was nothing more than God had graced him with upon his birth
C                                                 F                                         G                                      C  
They marveled for a moment then one said we must be gone
C                                                      F                                      C                                    G  
Let's leave a present for our friend before we move along
F                                                      C                                            F                            G  
As a gift they left a blue silk ribbon tied into a bow
  C                      G              C                    F            G                                            C  
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
F                                                                                 C                                         G  
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
  C                      G              C                    F            G                                            C  
Around the bonnie star the Scots kilt did lift and show
C                                                              F                                            G                                                 C  
Now the Scotsman woke to nature's call and stumbled toward the trees
C                                            F                                              C                                         G  
Behind a bush he lifts his kilt and gawks at what he sees
F                                            C                                         F                                            G  
And in a startled voice he says to what's before his eyes
     C            G                         C                      F                         G                                            C  
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
F                                                                                 C                                         G  
Ring ding diddle diddle I de oh ring di diddly I oh
     C            G                         C                      F                         G                                            C  
O lad I don't know where you been but I see you won first prize
