F#m D Em D G


[Verse 1]
       D             G       D
By the clear and the winding streams
       G      Em       A
In the valley of Strathmore
         D        Gmaj7  D
Where my love and I have been
      Gmaj7              A
Where we'll wander never more


[Chorus]
       Bm         A               G
But if time was a thing man could buy
                             A
All the money that I have in store
        D            Gmaj7      D
I would give for one day by her side
       G               A
In the valley of Strathmore


[Verse 2]
         D           G              D
From the glen of the golden and the green
  G          Em        A
I left for a land far away
      D           Gmaj7      D
Where sadness has never been seen
         Gmaj7                  A
Aye, and joy only costs a day's pay


[Chorus]
       Bm         A               G
But if time was a thing man could buy
                             A
All the money that I have in store
        D            Gmaj7      D
I would give for one day by her side
       G               A
In the valley of Strathmore


[Verse 3]
         D              G            D
In Strathmore there's a long working day
      G            Em           A
For a man with his hands on the plow
         D           Gmaj7    A
But it's work I'd be happy to do
      Gmaj7                   A
If at night I were lying with you


[Chorus]
       Bm         A               G
But if time was a thing man could buy
                             A
All the money that I have in store
        D            Gmaj7      D
I would give for one day by her side
       G               A
In the valley of Strathmore


[Verse 4]
     D           G             D
As I take a long draft from my glass
        G        Em         A
Oh, I'm drinking alone here again
      G          Gmaj7       D
And I try not to think of my lass
        Gmaj7                    A
For the old days will ne'er come again


[Chorus]
       Bm         A               G
But if time was a thing man could buy
                             A
All the money that I have in store
        D            Gmaj7      D
I would give for one day by her side
       G               A
In the valley of Strathmore
