[Verse]
Am Em
Gentlemen it is me duty
Am Em
To inform you of one beauty
Am Em
Though I'd ask of you a favor
C G Em
Not to seek her for a while
Am Em
Though I own she is a creature
Am Em
Of character and feature
Am Em
No words can paint the picture
C G Am
Of the queen of all Argyll
[Chorus]
Am Em
And if you could have seen her there
Am Em (G)
Boys, if you had just been there
Am Em
The swan was in her movements
C G Em
And the marvel in her smile
Am Em
All the roses in the garden
Am Em
They bow and ask her pardon
Am Em
For not one could match the beauty
C G Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll
[Verse]
On the evening that I mentioned
I passed with light intention
Through a part of our dear country
Known for beauty and for style
In the place of noble thinkers
Of scholars and great drinkers
But above them all for splendor
Shone the Queen of all Argyll
[Chorus]
Am Em
And if you could have seen her there
Am Em (G)
Boys, if you had just been there
Am Em
The swan was in her movements
C G Em
And the marvel in her smile
Am Em
All the roses in the garden
Am Em
They bow and ask her pardon
Am Em
For not one could match the beauty
C G Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll
[Verse]
So my lads I needs must leave you
My intentions no' to grieve you
Nor indeed would I deceive you
Oh I'll see you in a while
I must find some way to gain her
To court her and to tame her
I fear my heart's in danger
From the Queen of all Argyll
[Chorus] (x2)
Am Em
And if you could have seen her there
Am Em (G)
Boys, if you had just been there
Am Em
The swan was in her movements
C G Em
And the marvel in her smile
Am Em
All the roses in the garden
Am Em
They bow and ask her pardon
Am Em
For not one could match the beauty
C G Am
Of the Queen of all Argyll
