These Are My Mountains
Alexander Brothers

Verse:
   G+G           C majorC     G+G
For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
         C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
And now I've come back to the land of my birth
           G+G    G7G7    C majorC
I've brought back my treasures but only to find
           G+G     D MajorD      G+G
They're less than the pleasures I first left behind

Chorus:
   G+G             C majorC     G+G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
           C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
The braes of my childhood will know me again
           G+G    G7G7    C majorC
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
           G+G     D MajorD    G+G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home


Verse:
   G+G            C majorC   G+G
The burn by the road sings at my going by
         C majorC      G+G    D MajorD
The whaup averhead wings with welcoming cry
         G+G      G7G7    C majorC
The loch where the scart flies at last I can see
               G+G     D MajorD   G+G
It's here that my heart lies it's here I'll be free


Chorus:
   G+G             C majorC     G+G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
           C majorC     G+G     D MajorD
The braes of my childhood will know me again
           G+G    G7G7    C majorC
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
           G+G     D MajorD    G+G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home

Verse:
  G+G            C majorC    G+G
Kind faces will meet me and welcome me in
           C majorC    G+G    D MajorD
And how they will greet me my ain kith and kin
           G+G     G+G   C majorC
The night round the ingle old sangs will be sung
           G+G    D MajorD    G+G
At last I'll be hearing my ain mother tongue.
