[Eb] [G]
[Fm] [Eb]
Soldier, a Scottish soldier, who wandered [D] far [G] away, and [Eb] soldiered far away, there was none bolder, [Gm] with good broad [Cm] shoulder, he'd fought and [Bb] money and prey, and [Eb] fought and won.
He'd seen the glory, he'd told the story, [Cm] of battles [Bb] 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 Ireland hills, [C] [Fm] or the Ireland hills, they're [Eb] not my land's hills, and fair [Ab] as these green [Eb] farm hills may be, [C] they [Fm] are not the hills [Eb] of hope.

[Eb] [Gm]
[Eb] this soldier, this Scottish soldier, [Ab] who wandered far away, and soldiered far away, sees leaves are falling, [Eb] and death is calling, and he will [Db] [Gm] fade away in [Eb] that far land.
He called his piper, his crusty piper, and by [Bb] him sound the lay-up, he [Eb] broke sad to play-up, on a hillside, but Scottish hillside, not on [Bb] those green hills of [Eb] Tyrol.
[Ab] Because those green hills are not [Eb] Ireland hills, [C] or [Fm] the Ireland hills, [Eb] they're not my land's hills, and fair [Ab] as these green [Eb] farm hills may be, [C] they [Fm] are not the [Bb] hills [Eb] of hope.
Now this soldier, [Bb] this Scottish [Eb] soldier, will [Bb] wander far no more, and [Eb] soldier far no [Gm] more, and on a hillside, [Bb] a Scottish [Eb]
hillside, you'll see [Bb] a piper play his [Eb] soldier home.
He's seen the glory, he's told the story, of [Bb] battles glorious, and he's [Eb]
victorious, for we will [E] cease now, [Bb] he is at peace [Eb] now, far from [Bb] those green hills of [Eb] Tyrol.
Because [Ab] those green hills [Eb] are not [C] Ireland hills, or the Ireland hills, [Eb] they're not my land's hills, and [Ab] fair as these green [Eb] farm [Em] hills may be, [Fm] they are not the [Bbm] hills [Eb] of hope.
[Ab] Because those green hills are [Eb] not Ireland [C] hills, [Fm] or the Ireland hills, they're [Eb] not my land's hills, and [Ab] fair as these green [Eb] farm hills may be, [C] they are [Fm] not the [F]
hills [Bb]
of [Eb] hope.
