Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens of roses.  
  F5            C5                  G5 
In you let the minions of luxury rove. 
     C5 
Restore me the rocks where snowflake reposes 
     F5                C5        G5         C5 
If still they are sacred to freedom and love 
  C5              F5           C5 
Yet Caledonia beloved are thy mountains,  
                                        G5 
Round their white summit your elements war. 
      C5 
Tho? cataracts foam instead of smooth flowing fountains, 
    C5                       G5        C5 
I sigh for the valleys of dark Lochnagarr. 


  C5 
Ah, there my young footsteps in infancy wandered. 
  F5            C5                        G5 
My cap was my bonnet, my cloak was my plaid. 
     C5 
On chieftains long perished my memories pondered 
     F5                C5          G5            C5 
As daily I strayed through the pine covered glade. 
   C5                            F5           C5 
I sought not my home till the days dying glory. 
                                            G5 
Gave place to the rays of the bright polar star 
      C5 
For fancy was cheered by traditional glory  
     C5                        G5        C5 
Disclosed by the natives of dark Lochnagarr. 


  C5 
Shades of the dead, have I not heard your voices 
  F5                  C5                    G5 
Rise on the night-rolling breath of the gale? 
     C5 
Surely the soul of the hero rejoices. 
     F5                 C5          G5            C5 
And rides on the wind o?er his own Highland vale 
   C5                            F5           C5 
Round Lochnagarr, while the stormy mist gathers, 
                                 G5 
Winter presides in his cold icy car; 
      C5 
Clouds there encircle the forms of my fathers; 
      C5                         G5        C5 
They dwell in the tempests of dark Lochnagarr. 

PLAYED SLOWLY 
  C5               F5              C5 
Yet, Caledonia beloved are thy mountains 
                 C5          G5        C5 
I sigh for the valley of dark Lochnagarr?  


 C5 
Ill starred now the brave did no vision foreboding. 
  F5                 C5                   G5 
Tell you that fate had forsaken your cause 
     C5 
How were you destined to die at Culloden? 
   F5                 C5           G5            C5 
Though victory crowned not your fall with applause. 
   C5                            F5           C5 
Still were  you happy in deaths earthly slumbers 
                                            G5 
Tae sleep wi? your clan in the caves of Braemar 
      C5 
The pibroch resounds tae the pipers loud numbers 
     C5                        G5        C5 
Your deeds on the echoes o? dark Lochnagarr. 


  C5 
Years have rolled on Lochnagarr, since I left you  
  F5                 C5                G5 
Years must elapse ere I tread you again 
     C5 
Through nature of verdure and flowers has bereft you, 
  F5                 C5           G5        C5 
Yet still you are dearer than Albion?s plain 
   C5                       F5           C5 
England, thy beauties are tame and domestic 
                                        G5 
To one who has roved on the mountains afar; 
      C5 
Oh for the crags that are wild and majestic 
      C5                         G5        C5 
The steep sounding glories of dark Lochnagarr 

Repeat fading 


    C5                           G5        C5 
The steep sounding glories of dark Lochnagarr 
    C5                           G5        C5 
The steep sounding glories of dark Lochnagarr 
    C5                           G5        C5 
The steep sounding glories of dark Lochnagarr
