[Intro] G  Em

         G                           Em
Now the shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
         G                             Em
And the sheep are in the clover, Bonnie Jess
         C                   Em
By the creek the cattle are lowing
         C                 Em
And the golden crops are growing
           C               Am           Em
While the setting sun is glowing, Bonnie Jess
       G                  Am            G
And a kiss to thee i'm throwing, Bonnie Jess

        G                                 Em
To thy face the crimson's rushing, Bonnie Jess
        G                                Em
Ah! I know why thou are blushing, Bonnie Jess
           C        Em
'Tis the memory appearing
           C            Em
Of the promise in the clearing
          C                    Am           Em
When you said twixt hope and fearing, Bonnie Jess
           G               Am           G
You would wed me after shearing, Bonnie Jess

            G                         Em
And now shearing time is over, Bonnie Jess
            G                         Em
Thou are looking for thy lover, Bonnie Jess

           C                 Em
And my horse's hooves are ringing
     C                  Em
As along the road i'm swinging
       C                  Am           Em
And a song for thee i'm singing, Bonnie Jess
         G                 Am            G
And the wedding ring i'm bringing, Bonnie Jess
