A Scottish Soldier Chords by Andy Stewart

_ _ Braymar Castle stands in the heart of the Highlands [Eb] and this song when I wrote it [Bb] came [Eb] from my heart [Bb] a Scottish [Eb] soldier
_ [Bb] There [Eb] _ _
_ was a soldier [Bb] a [Eb] Scottish soldier
Who [Fm] wandered far away [Bb] and soldier [Eb]
far away there was none borer [Fm] with [Eb] good blood shoulder
He'd [Fm] fought in money of three [Bb] and [Eb] fought and won
[Bb] He'd [Eb] seen the glory
[Bb] He [Eb] told the story of [Fm] battles glorious [Bb] and [Eb] deeds victorious
But now he's sighing his heart is crying
To [Fm] leave those green [Bb] hills [Eb] of Tyrol
Because [Ab] those green hills are not [Eb]
Highland hills
[C] [Fm] Or the island hills
[Eb] They're not my land's hills and [Ab] fair as these green
For the [Eb] nil's maybe [Fm] they are not the [Bb] hills [Eb] of home
[F] _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] _ _
And _ _ _ now this soldier [Bb] this [Eb] Scottish soldier
Who [Fm] wandered far away [Bb] and [Eb] soldier far away
Sees leaves are falling [Bb] and [Eb] death is calling and he [Fm] will fade away [Bb] in [Eb] that far land
[Bb] He [Eb] called his piper [Fm] his [Eb] trusty piper and [Fm] bade him sound
To lay [Bb] a [Eb] fever of sad to play upon a hillside [Fm] but [Eb] Scottish hillside
Not [Fm] on those green [Bb] hills [Eb] of Tyrol
Because [Ab] those [Fm] green [Ab] hills are not Highland [Eb] hills
[Cm] [Fm] Or the island hills
[Bb] [Eb] They're not my land's hills and [Ab] fair as these green
For the [Cm] nils maybe [Fm] they are not the [Bb] hills [Eb] of [Bb] home

_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Abm] And now [Eb] this soldier this [F] Scottish [G] soldier
_ Will [Fm] wander far no more [Bb] and soldier [Eb] far no more [Fm] and on [Eb] a hillside
a [Fm] Scottish [G] _
hillside
You'll see [Fm] that piper play [Bb] his [Eb] soldier home
[Fm] He's seen [Eb] the glory
[Fm] He's told [Eb] the story of [Fm] battles glorious and deeds victorious
and [Bb] deeds [Eb] _
victorious
[Ab] The [D] bugles [Eb] cease now
[Fm] He is at [Eb] peace now far from [Fm] those green [Bb] hills of [Eb] Tyrol
_ Because [Ab] those green
_ Are not [Eb] Highland hills [Cm] [Fm] or the island hills
[Bb] They're not [Eb] my land's hills and [Ab] fair as these green
For the [Eb] nils maybe _ [Cm] they [Fm] are not the [Bb] hills [Eb] of home
Oh [Ab] no those green hills are not [Eb] Highland [Cm] hills
[Fm] Or the island [Bb] hills
They're not [Eb] my land's hills and fair as [Ab] these green
For the [Eb] nils maybe [Cm]
[Fm] they are not the [Bb] hills of [Eb] _ _
[Ab] home
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
[Fm] For the _ _ [Bb] _ [Eb] _ island hills and fair [Ab] as these green
For [Eb] the nils maybe _ [C] they [Fm] are not the hills [Bb] _ _ _ of [Eb] home _ _ [Fm] _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Fm] _ [Eb] Mark _
