[G] I was born [D] and [Em] raised in Glasgow, in a [C] Gallagher [D] tenement,
[C] And when [A] people [C] spoke of my [D] bonny land, [Em] I didn't [D] know what [C] they meant.
[G] But then I [D] took [Em] to travel, [G] [C] I made far [D] and wide,
[C] And [Am] now when I speak of my native [D] land, [Em] I speak [D] with [C] love and pride.
[G] For I [D] have [Em] seen the high land, [G] I have [D] seen the low,
[Am] And I will rather my [D] native [Em] land, wherever [D]
I [C] may [Em] go.
[D]
[C] [Em] [D]
[C] [G] Oh, [D] native [Em] people come forth, many [C] a [D] day's gone by,
[C] To [Am] outdo all [C] of her wondrous [D] work, [Em] she [D] thought she'd [C] have a try.
[G] She [D] foiled [Em] and she thundered, she [C] rumbled [D] and she roared,
[C] She [Am] made the highlands of [C] Scotland, [D] then [Em] she threw [D] away [C] the moat.
[G] For I [D] have [Em] seen the high land, I [C] have [D] seen the low,
[C] And [Am] I will [C] rather my [D] native [Em] land, wherever [D]
I [C] may [G] go.
[D]
[C] [G] [Bm]
[C] [G] Go [D] rounding [Em] out by the burn, [C] rolling [D] down by turn,
[C] On the rugged [Am] hills [C] of great [D] Ireland, she [Em] feverishly [D] could play.
[C] On earth, [G] go [D] gaze [Em] upon the cool lands, see the [C] lowland [D] in the mist.
[C] On the land [Am]
[C] of England, the full [D] of [Em] ear, the sun [D] burned [C] at his face.
[G] For [D] I have [Em] seen the high land, I [C] have [D] seen the low,
[G] And [Am] I will rather [C] my [D] native land, [Em] wherever [D]
I [C] may [G] go.
[D]
[C] The [G] [Bm]
[C] [G] [D] Irish [Em] and the English, the [G] [C] African [D] and Turk,
[C] In the [Am] world of [C] joy and of [D] harmony, [Em] [D] together [C] we must work.
[G] On this shore, [D] the [Em] foreign rovers, we lay [C] no [D] robbers on.
[C] And [Am] I ask [C] you, put all [D] our lives [Em] in [D] our own [C] native land.
[G] For I [D] have [Em] seen the high land, I [C] have [D] seen the low,
[C] And I [Am] will [C] rather my [D] native [Em] land, wherever [Am]
[C] I may go.
[G] For [D] I have seen [Em] the high land, [G] I have seen [D] the low,

While Nick goes off and changes his strings, I'll sing a quiet song called The Town of Canberra.
Please don't applaud while I'm doing my guitar break at the beginning.
It's just embarrassing.
Or if you recognize the tune, and it is one [C#] of your favorites.
Well done, you [N] didn't.
That was just a test.
