An excellent song by Runrig that's relatively easy to play even for beginners as there 
are only 4 chords used ( C5 , G5 , D5 , E5 )

(Translation:
Gaidhlig: 'Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o'
English: 'There's a new grass growing on the top of the soil'

(Just singing in the verses. After the first two choruses, instruments stop playing and 
there is only singing, apart from the 3 drum beats used on 'Tha feur ur air bar an 
tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o' line.

Verse 1:
G5                             C5                 G5
April comes to the new grass on the hills of gold
G5                C5               G5                 C5
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
        G5                   C5
Where winter falls in the long cold north
      G5                   C5        G5
Black waters wait in the Ice and snow
G5                C5               G5               C5
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
      G5                   C5
Black waters wait in the Ice and sun
              C5                               G5
Through the glens where your great rivers run

Chorus:
            C5        G5      D5     C5
Back on the stamping ground
             E5    C5    G5    D5
to where it all began
            C5        G5      D5     C5
Back on the stamping ground
    G5
We come again

Same notes for verses 2 & 3: ( G5 , C5 )
Same chords for chorus: ( C5 , G5 , D5 , C5 , E5 , 
C5 , G5 , D5 , C5 , G5 , D5 , C5 , G5 )

Verse 2:
So we tend and we nurtur all the seeds we've sown
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
Through all the frosts and rains the west winds blow
till the fields turn ripe and a harvest stored
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
Through all the frosts and rains the west winds blow
We will wait here till the winter's end

Chorus:
Back on the stamping ground
to where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again

Verse 3:
So it's blood on blood, our bond, our word
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
For the strength and weakness of our days
is to take you there on a journey shared
Tha feur ur air bar an tallamh, bar an tallamh, horribh o
So take this ring, make it sparkle and glow
it's much greater than we may ever know

Chorus:
Back on the stamping ground
to where it all began
Back on the stamping ground
We come again
