Am
Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race
        G 
That is part of a clan
        D
And to live on highlands
        Am
And the air that you breathe
So pure and so clean
       G           D
When alone on the hills
         F            C
With the wind in your hair
        G         D
With a longing to feel 
           Am
Just to be free

Am
Is it right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
          G
Can't you see what they do
           D
They are grinding us down
         Am
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans

      G            D
Not alone with a dream
      F           C
Just want to be free
        G         D
With a need to belong
         Am
I am a clansman

Am
It's a time wrought with fear
It's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear
What is happening now
            G 
They would turn in their graves
            D
They would all be ashamed
          Am
That the land of the free
Has been written in chains

      G           D
And I know what I want
         F         C
When the timing is right
          G            D
Then I'll take what is mine
         Am
I am the clansman

Am
And I swear to defend
And we'll fight to the end
And I swear that I'll never
Be taken alive
      G               
And I know that we'll stand
          F
And we'll fight for our land
      Am
And I swear that my bairns Will be born free

      G           D
And I know what I want
         F         C
When the timing is right
          G            D
Then I'll take what is mine
         Am
