Scotland The Brave

Corries


Tom: G

G
Hark when the night is falling
G
Hear, hear the pipes a' calling
C          G
Loudly and proudly calling
D
Down through the glen
G
There where the hills are sleeping
G
Now feel the blood a-leaping
C           G
High as the spirits
       D            G
Of the old Highland men


[Chorus]
D
Towering in gallant fame
G
Scotland my mountain hame
Em            D                A7         D7
High may your proud standards, gloriously wave
G
Land o' my high endeavour
G
Land o' the shining rivers
C          G
Land o' my heart for ever
D            G
Scotland the brave


[Verse]
G
High in the misty Highlands
G
Oot by the purple islands
C             G
Brave are the hearts that beat
  D
Beneath Scottish skies
G
Wild are the winds tae meet ye
G
Staunch are the friends that greet ye
C           G
Kind as the love that shines
     D             G
from fair maidens' eyes


[Chorus]
D
Towering in gallant fame
G
Scotland my mountain hame
Em            D                A7         D7
High may your proud standards, gloriously wave
G
Land o' my high endeavour
G
Land o' the shining rivers
C          G
Land o' my heart for ever
D            G
Scotland the brave


[Verse]
G
Far off in sunlit places
G
Sad are the Scottish faces
C           G
Yearning to feel the kiss
D
Of sweet Scottish rain
G
Where tropic skies are beaming
G
Love sets the heart a-dreaming
C           G                D        G
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again


[Chorus]
D
Towering in gallant fame
G
Scotland my mountain hame
Em            D                A7         D7
High may your proud standards, gloriously wave
G
Land o' my high endeavour
G
Land o' the shining rivers
C          G
Land o' my heart for ever
D            G
Scotland the brave
