🎸 Verse 1:
   C majorC        FF    C majorC
There is a star whose beaming ray
  C majorC    D MajorD   DmDm  G+G
Is shed on ev'ry clime.
  C majorC     C/EC/E    FF     D/F#D/F#
It shines by night, it shines by day
  G+G      D MajorD   G+G
And ne'er grows dim wi' time.
  G/F   G+G       C majorC
It rose upon the banks of Ayr
D7D7          GsusGsus G+G
It shone on Doon's clear stream -
  C majorC             FF  DmDm
Twa hundred years are gane and mair
C majorC    G7G7    C majorC
Yet brighter grows its Beam.

Let kings and courtiers rise and fa'

Yet brightly beams abeen them a'

Though he was but a ploughman lad
  C majorC    D MajorD   DmDm  G+G
And wore the hodden grey
C majorC    C/EC/E   FF    D/F#D/F#
Auld Scotia's sweetest bard was bred
  G+G   D MajorD   G+G
Aneath a roof o'strae.
  G/F    G+G          C majorC
Tae sweep the strings o' Scotia's lyre
D7D7        GsusGsus G+G
It needs nae classic lore;

It's mither wit an native fire
   C majorC     G7G7   C majorC
That warms the bosom's core.

Yet brightly beams abeen them a'
