Give these a try jamiejah. The chords are listed separately, below the lyrics, but should not be hard to figure out.

Hi Ken   

I just visited your Youtube site and really enjoyed listening to what you have done. The "Soldier Story" especially. Thankfully that is behind us and we have moved on.

You should post the link to your site so the rest of the Chordies can enjoy it.

Thanks
Kenny smile

Re: the braes o killiekrankie

thanks Kenny,

I posted my link a few times when i had put my own songs i had written on but I have not written anything for ages. But next time i write something i think worth recording that link will go back on again,lol.

I am planning on doing a few more scottish folk songs before christmas since I got my camera back from being repaired.
