D                                          A                 A7
Tak' ye strength by the green fields, that blanket peats an' coal,
G              D            G               A
ships frae the Clyde have a nation in their hold.
D                           A                 A7
The water o' life, some men need to make them bold,
G              D               A   D
black gold and fishes frae the sea man
