Soldier, a Scotty soldier, who [Fm] wandered far [Bb] away, and [Eb] soldiered far away, there was none bolder, with good broad shoulder, he'd fought [D] in the money a fray, and [Eb] fought and won.
He'd seen the glory, he'd told the story, of [Bb] battles glorious, and deeds [Eb] victorious, but now he's sighing, his heart is crying, to leave [Bb] those green hills of [Eb]
Tyrol.
[Ab] Because those green hills are [Eb] not Highland [C] hills, [Fm] or the Island hills, [Bb] they're [Eb] not my land's hills, and [Ab] fair as these green [Eb] foreign hills may be, [C] [Fm] they are not the hills [Eb] of home.

He's seen the glory, he's [Bb] told [Eb] the story, of [Bb] battles glorious, and deeds [Eb] victorious, the bugle cease now, he [Bb] is [Eb] at peace now, far [Bb] from those green hills [Eb] of Tyrol.
Because [Ab] those green hills [Eb] are not [C] Highland hills, or the Island [Bb] hills, [Eb] they're not my land's hills, and [Ab] fair as these green foreign [C] hills may be, [Fm] they are not the hills [Eb] of home.
