[Verse 1]
G
Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters,
C G D
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies.
G
Her sons drinking love, from the eyes of her daughters,
C G D G
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs.
[Chorus]
D G
Scotland's blue mountains wild, where hoary cliffs are piled,
C G D
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me.
G
Land of the misty cloud, land of the tempest loud,
C G D G
Land of the brave and proud, land of the free.
[Verse 2]
G
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains,
C G D
The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free.
G
Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain,
C G D G
And proudly she sings, looking over the sea.
[Chorus 2]
D G
Here among my mountains wild, I have serenely smiled,
C G D
When armies and empires against me were hurled.
G
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock,
C G D G
Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world.
[Verse 3]
A
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing,
D A E
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path.
A
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing,
D A E A
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death.
[Chorus 3]
E A
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs,
D A E
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
A
Shivering are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
D A E A
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
E A
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs,
D A E
Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
A
Shivering are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
D A E A
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
D A E A
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
