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
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. Open with a G/G2 4 times. G C. G/G2 Oh the summertime is coming C. Bm/B2 And the trees are sweetly turning C Bm Am/A2 And the wild mountain thyme C Bm Am Blooms across the purple heather G C G/G2 Will you go, Lassie go? C G/G2 If you will not go with me C Bm/B2 I will surely find another C Bm Am/A2 To pull wild mountain thyme C Bm Am All across the bloomin' heather G C G/G2 Will you go, lassie, go C Bm/B2 And we'll all go together C Bm Am/A2 To pull wild mountain thyme C Bm Am All across the bloomin' heather G C G Will you go, lassie, go
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

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
