These Are My Mountains
Alexander Brothers

Verse:
      G                      C          G
For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
                  C          G          D
And now I've come back to the land of my birth
                      G        G7        C
I've brought back my treasures but only to find
                      G         D            G
They're less than the pleasures I first left behind

Chorus:
     G                         C         G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
                      C         G         D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
                      G        G7        C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
                     G          D        G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home


Verse:
     G                       C      G
The burn by the road sings at my going by
                  C           G       D
The whaup averhead wings with welcoming cry
                  G           G7       C
The loch where the scart flies at last I can see
                             G         D      G
It's here that my heart lies it's here I'll be free


Chorus:
     G                         C         G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
                      C         G         D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
                      G        G7        C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
                     G          D        G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home


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


Chorus:
     G                         C         G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
                      C         G         D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
                      G        G7        C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
                     G          D        G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home




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