Verse 1:
C majorC             FF            C majorC FF C majorC G+G
The tang o' the pines is fine as it hangs on the air
    C majorC     FF     C majorC         G+G
The summer sun smiles, for whiles he hasn't a care
   C majorC           FF            C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
The river runs free, and the bee sings her honeycomb song
     C majorC           FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
By the side o' the track that leads tae the back o' beyond

Verse 2:
   C majorC           FF           C majorC FF C majorC G+G
The only real life is the life of the travelling man
 C majorC      FF     C majorC       G+G
Free as the smoke are the folk of the travelling van
   C majorC            FF             C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
At peace with the breeze, the trees and the birds on the pond
    C majorC            FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
By the side o' the track that leads tae the back o' beyond

Verse 3:
    C majorC           FF           C majorC FF C majorC G+G
The children they yearn to learn the word of the school
   C majorC      FF      C majorC            G+G
The old-ways are gone like raindrops that fall in the pool
      C majorC             FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
But we'll teach them to care, set a snare, and live off the land
     C majorC           FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
As they wander the track that leads to the back o' beyond

Verse 4:
 C majorC             FF           C majorC FF C majorC G+G
But be on your guard, for hard are the winters of home
  C majorC         FF     C majorC       G+G
Twenty below and the snow lying hard as the stone
      C majorC        FF          C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
There's little to eat, and heat, just a memory gone
     C majorC           FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
By the side o' the track that leads tae the back o' beyond

Verse 5:
   C majorC          FF           C majorC FF C majorC G+G
Aye maybe it's true, that you have a mansion and land
   C majorC    FF       C majorC           G+G
And maybe the wife likes the life that is unco and grand
     C majorC        FF          C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
But I'm happy to be, just me as I'm dodging along
     C majorC           FF           C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
Tae the end o' the track that leads tae the back o' beyond

Verse 6:
   C majorC           FF           C majorC FF C majorC G+G
The tang o' the pines is fine as it hangs on the air
    C majorC     FF     C majorC         G+G
The summer sun smiles, for whiles he hasn't a care
   C majorC           FF            C majorC  FF C majorC G+G
The river runs free, and the bee sings her honeycomb song
     C majorC           FF           C majorC  FF C majorC
By the side o' the track that leads tae the back o' beyond
