I should [G] journey to the North over Tweed and over [C] [G] Forth by the Kingdom [Em] of Bight and or [D] the [Eb] _ [D] Thee.
And by [E] Angus and [Am] Kincard and weather [A] and stream to [D] the sea, [G] you will [Em] reach the [Am] place that
I is dear [G] to [C] [G] thee. _
[C] Ever [A] been, [D] ever ling, [Em] although where [G] [D] I have been, [Am] I sleep [Em] here [A] by all the [D] stars above.
_ [Bm] If [G] I [E] ever cease [Am] the law, my [A] repose is calling [D] [C] home, [G] _ Aberdeen, [Em] the silver _ [C] _ [G] skin that I am.

[G] All in the pipes are ringing out, the kids are swinging [C] out, your heart [A] is singing [D] as
you gaily march along.
[G] You hear the story that is [Em] near, and roaring [Am] in the tunes [D] of glory, and [G] for no doubt song.
If you're standing near them and you were, hear them [C] you won't, [A]
hear [Ab] them as you feel
the glory there.
[G] The music fills you and the drum beat holds [D] you under, _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ and the song will lift and _ [D] give
[Em] and pray, _ [D]
give [G] and say, [Am] _ is the story in [D] the tunes _ [G] of glory.

[Eb] _ _ _ There was a soldier, [Bb] a [Eb] starry soldier, _ who [Fm] wandered far [Bb] away, and [Eb] soldier far _ [Bb] away.
There [Eb] was none _ bolder, [Fm] with good [Cm] broad shoulder, [Eb] _
he'd fought [Fm] in money or [Eb] free, and fought and won.
_ [Bb] He'd seen [Eb] the glory, _ [Fm] he'd [Gm] told the story, _ [Cm] of battles [Bb] _ glorious and [Eb] victorious.
_ _ [Bb] But now [Eb] he's sighing, [Fm] his heart [Gm] is [Eb] crying, to leave those [Fm] green [Gm] hills [Eb] of Tyrol.
_ _ _ [G]
[Ab] Because those green hills are not [Eb] Highland [C] hills, [Fm] or the Island [Bb] hills, they're not [Eb] my
Highland hills, [G] and [Ab] whereas these green foreign [Eb] hills may [C] be, they [Fm] are not the hills.
[Bb] Come on, we'll [Eb] all sing it together. _
[G] Oh [Ab] those green hills, _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [C] or [Fm]
the Highland [Bb] hills, [Eb] they're not my Highland hills, [G] and whereas
[Ab] _ these green _ foreign [Eb] hills may _ [C] be, _ _ they are [Fm] not _ the _ hills.

_ _ I've [G] just come down from the Isle [Bb] of Skye, I'm over a dead in a muck, me shrine and [Cm] the
axes go, when I don't like it.
I don't know how, I don't know how, _ _ [F] [Bb] to get a fight, to show me where it's a little hard.
All [Cm] _ the axes say, hello, [G] hello, _ [Cm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ so where till this mighty line, [Bb] there is nothing I know
to fight, [Cm] I hope to get a fight, [G]
to show me where [Cm] it's a little hard. _ _
