Sound The Pibroch Chords by Makem And Clancy

[N] _ [G] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
[F] You're not too bad.
I'll have to hand that [G] to you.
You're not as good [A#m] as the people in Galway the other night, I might add.
_ They practically did the show for us.
[C] We had great fun.
They sang along.
They clapped along.
They [E] were a good bunch out there.
I think we should import them, Tommy.
_ [F#] Of course, there was a bar [E] in that place out there, too.
You know that?
It helps.
At this time, I'd like [F#] to_
I'd like to take you back a [E] while in history.
_ _ [B] Back to the Highlands of Scotland.
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#m] Back to a morning.
[E] _ _ The morning [A#m] of April 16th, [A#] the year of [C#] 1746. _ _ _ _
[F#] It was a Wednesday [C#] morning.
_ [A#] It was raining in the Highlands of Scotland.
No, [C#] it was sleet.
[Dm] Sleet was driving into the faces of the [C] Highland men that lands as they came down to [A#] meet
a great English force [A#m] that was coming north over the border.
[D] They were coming up [A#] an army under the leadership [D#] of a man called the Duke of Cumberland.
He was known [C#] as the Bloody Butcher.
He was coming up to wipe [A#] out the wild, savage Highlanders.
They wanted to put [Am] sheep in the place of the Highland men.
There was more money in sheep than in human beings.
[C#m] They were going to clear out the Highlands.
[B] [D#] They came up with the latest [A#m] in artillery of the time.
[E] [F] And that [C#m] morning, the Highland [A#] men came down from the mountains.
[D#] They were led by Prince Charles Stuart, Bonnie Prince Charlie. _
They came down.
In front of each clan was the [A#] piper playing the peabrock [F#] to give them courage [A#m] and to frighten the enemy.
[D#] They came down [D]
with their great claymores before [B] them, the great double-bladed swords.
[Cm] And there was father fighting beside son and [C#] brother beside brother.
[Gm] _ [A#] They met the English on Culloden's [C#m] Moor.
_ [C] There were no match for the artillery.
[C#m] _ _ The battle only lasted half an hour, maybe three quarters [E] of an hour.
_ [A#] And in that time, most of the Highland [E] men were wiped out.
[C] And with them, a whole [A] _ traditional way of life.
Gaelic Scotland was almost forever [C] gone.
What was left [A] went out to Nova [E] Scotia. _ _
[C#m] And here's a song about the battle that morning [E] called Sound the Peabrock.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Sound the [A] peabrock loud [E] and high.
Rage on, o' [A] growths, to the [E] Isle of Skye.
_ Let [C#m] all your [E] plans with [A] battle cry.
_ [E] Arise and follow [B] _
[E] Charlie. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] Arise and follow [B] _ [E] Charlie. _
By dark-locked [A] shield they made their [E] stand.
_ That small [A] devoted [E] Highland band.
A [C#m] sport of fight with [A] heart and hand.
[E] And follow their [B] royal [E] Charlie.
A-ching-pong-pong-pong.
[F#m] A-ching-pong-pong-pong.
[E] A-ching-pong-pong [A]-pong. _
[E] _ Arise and follow [B] _ [E] _ Charlie.
By dark-clad and spleen of _ moor.
Hard how they cry, [A] Claymore, [E] _
_ Claymore.
Bravely they fight, can [A] they do _ more.
[E] And die for royal [B] _ _
[E] Charlie.
A-ching-pong-pong [F#m]-pong.
A-ching-pong-pong-pong.
[E] A-ching-pong [A]-pong-pong. _ _
[E] Arise and follow [B] _ _ [E] Charlie. _
_ No [B] more we'll [A] see such [E] deeds again.
_ _ Deserted now [A] each [E] Highland blend.
_ And lonely cairns are [A] all the men.
[E] Who fought and [B] died for [E] Charlie.
A-ching-pong-pong-pong.
[F#m] A-ching-pong-pong [E]-pong.
A-ching-pong [A]-pong-pong.
_ [E] Arise and follow _ Charlie.
_ So sound your peeper, loud and high.
_ Bright yawn approach, taily eye of sky.
_ Let [C#m] all your plans, where [A] battle cry.
_ [E] Arise and [B] follow _
[E] Charlie.
A-ching-pong-pong [F#m]-pong.
A-ching-pong-pong-pong.
[E] A-ching-pong-pong [A] _ _
-pong.
_ _ [E] _ Arise and follow [B] _
[E] Charlie.
