Codladh Samh (with a fada on the a of samh, but I dunno how to do that here!)
Pron. Cullah Sawve a store (another fada on o in stor) Meaning: Sleep safe/sound, darling/precious one.
When leaves in red and gold do burn
And swallows fly south I will return
To be by your side I yearn
Codladh samh, a stor
Codladh samh, a stor
To be by your side I yearn
Though I am held by time and tide
Through it all faith and hope abide
Tis you I’ll stand beside
Codladh samh, a stor
You are the thought that starts my day
Hoping your heart on me will stay
Forget me not I pray

Hello Jenny. I absolutely love this song and would love to learn to play it on guitar. Would you be prepared to send me the chords. Key of G but I can transpose.

Hi Jenny
Sorry it took me ages to see this.
Jem who arranged the guitar is not available right now – are you aware Jem’s playing it in DADGAD? There’s heaps going on in his arrangement, but the chords are simple.
