My Scotland chords by Isla Grant

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

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

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

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

Instrumental:
E – G – A – D – G – A - D

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

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

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