My Scotland    (video)

 

    D - G - D - A

 

                     D

1. There’s a land where mountains touch the sky,

                  G                                D                 A

    and the landscape’s cool to cheer in your eyes

              D

    there lie my roots till the day I die,

               A         A7            G D

    yes, I sing of you, my Scotland !

 

            D

2. To hear a Hebridean lullaby,

          G                             D           A

    to sail from Jura to the Isle of Skye,

                   D

    pray for soldiers who laid down their lives to die

                  A         A7         G  D

    for the freedom of my Scotland.

 

         A                             D                       A                     D

    Where you go, and where you be, on distant lands across the sea,

                G                    D                                 D                  A

    if you think of music and of rhyme, you can sing of Auld Lang Syne.

 

                 D

3. Oh, I’ll see the sun go down once more,

                    G                   D          A

    when I return to your Atlantic shore,

                  D

    and I’ll watch the golden eagle soar

                    A       A7         G  D

    o’er the beauty of my Scotland.
