G                                    C               D          G
I did not close my eyes for the last time under Caledonia’s skies
G                             C                 Em             D
With my good friends gathered all around me to say their last goodbyes.
C                       D                            G                C
But I will not be forgotten - in the heart of every Scot I still live on
G                                   Am    C             D    G
Now it’s time to fly the Saltire high my spirit’s coming home

G               C       D        G
I’m coming home back where I belong
G                    C         D      G
I’m coming home my spirit’s coming home

G                     C                 D                G
They tore apart my body so I could not rise on judgement day
G                        C        Em                D
But what they did not realise is now I’ll never go away
C                             D                    G             C
And I’m coming back to the land I love and the people I hold dear
G              Am    C     D       G
To Scotland, St. Andrew and freedom

G               C       D        G
I’m coming home back where I belong
G                    C         D      G
I’m coming home my spirit’s coming home

G                    C               D           G
I’m returning after all this time to Caledonian skies
G               C           Em                   D
To the country we died for so our nation would survive
C          D                     G            C
Once again to stand beside the people I hold dear
G              Am    C    D       G
For Scotland, St Andrew and freedom

G               C       D        G
I’m coming home back where I belong
G                    C         D      G
I’m coming home my spirit’s coming home

G              Am    C    D       G
For Scotland, St Andrew and freedom
