My Scotland chords by Isla Grant

Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse:
D MajorD
I have travelled all this world around
     G+G       D MajorD
And rare beauty in some lands I've found
    G+G        A augmentedA        D MajorD
but to me none can compare with my Scotland

I've met many friends along the way
     G+G         D MajorD
and they tried but could not make me stay
 G+G     A augmentedA          D MajorD
away from the land I love, my Scotland

Chorus:
 A augmentedA
So when I die please take me back
   G+G        D MajorD
to the land where I was born
  A augmentedA       G+G        D MajorD
And gently lay me down in peaceful sleep
  E MajorE           G+G
With clear rippling waters flowing by
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
and the mountains reaching to the sky
   G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
then I know I'll rest in peace in my Scotland

Instrumental:
E MajorE – G+G – A augmentedA – D MajorD – G+G – A augmentedA - D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD
Many mighty men have walked upon
  G+G        D MajorD
the rugged hills and glens
  G+G        A augmentedA
and many lost their fight for life
D MajorD           A augmentedA
to keep their country free
  D MajorD
But all their hopes and dreams live on
   G+G          D MajorD
I can feel them close though they are gone
   G+G         A augmentedA
Their spirit still lives on within
           D MajorD
the hearts of you and me

Chorus:
  A augmentedA
So when I die please take me back
   G+G        D MajorD
to the land where I was born
  A augmentedA       G+G        D MajorD
And gently lay me down in peaceful sleep
  E MajorE           G+G
With clear rippling waters flowing by
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
and the mountains reaching to the sky
   G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
then I know I'll rest in peace in my Scotland

  E MajorE           G+G
With clear rippling waters flowing by
    A augmentedA         D MajorD
and the mountains reaching to the sky
   G+G         A augmentedA        D MajorD
then I know I'll rest in peace in my Scotland
