A#m G# C# C#/C A#m
D# wind from north is blowing from the mountain side
A#m G# C# C#/C A#m
I'm standing in the rain and I am full of pride
F# C# F7 A#m
All my clothes are torn, | but I feel newborn
A#m G# G(!) D(!) A#m
Just to cross the river and I’m back home
Refrain
C# C#sus4 C# D#m
Catch me, catch me, if you can
C# C#sus4 C# D#m
Catch me, catch me, if you can
F7 F7 A#m A#m
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Last week I robbed the Bank of England in Glasgow Town
I took fifty-thousand pounds belonging to the crown
Yeah, they pestered me, | they were hot on my heels
Okay, they shot my horse, but they didn’t hit me
Refrain
Tomorrow I will buy a brand new wedding-dress
For the woman of my dreams living in Inverness
We will settle there | on the place she will prefer
And I will satisfy every wish of her
Refrain

Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
Hey men, catch me, but I don’t know, if you can
