Intro:          Am7            G7          F   C

      G7     C          G7       C            Am7     G7            F             C
There was a soldier, a Scottish soldier, who wandered far away and soldiered far away.
      G7        C           G7          C             Am7      G7                F         C
There was none bolder, with good broad shoulders, he fought in many a fray, and fought and won.

      G7       C          G7        C         Am7      G7           F       C
He's seen the glory, he's told the story, of battles glorious, and deeds victorious,
    G7        C           G7       C           Am7         G7          F    C
But now he's sighing, his heart is crying, to leave those green fields of Tyrol.

               F                   C                        A7            Dm         G7         C
Because those green fields are not high-land hills, or the island hills, they're not my land's hills,
            F                   C             A7       Dm            G7  C       
And fair as these green foreign hills may be, they are not the hills of home.

    G7        C             G7       C            Am7      G7           F            C
And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier, who wandered far away and soldiered far away,
      G7         C           G7       C          Am7       G7            F         C
Sees leaves are falling and death is calling, and he will fade away, on that dark land.

    G7        C           G7     C         Am7       G7                F             C
He called his piper, his trusty piper, and bade him sound a lay, a pi-broach sad to play,
G7     C          G7        C            Am7       G7          F    C
Upon a hillside a Scottish hillside, not on those green hills, of Tyrol.

               F                   C                        A7           Dm          G7        C
Because those green fields are not high-land hills, or the island hills, they're not my land's hills,
             F                    C            A7       Dm            G7  C        G7    C    G7
And fair as these, green foreign hills may be, they are not the hills of  home.

     G7       C             G7      C             Am7    G7               F               C
And now this soldier, this Scottish soldier, who wanders far no more and soldiers far no more,
    G7   C            G7       C               Am7   G7                F      C
Now on a hillside, a Scottish hillside, you'll see a piper play, this soldier home.
  
      G7       C          G7        C         Am7       G7          F       C
He's seen the glory, he's told the story, of battles, glorious and deeds victorious,
    G7      C                   G7    C        Am7         G7          F    C
But he will cease now, he is at peace now, far from these green, hills of Tyrol.

               F                   C                        A7           Dm          G7        C
Because those green fields are not high-land hills, or the island hills, they're not my land's hills,
            F                    C             A7       Dm            G7   C        G7    C    G7
And fair as these, green foreign hills may be, they are not the hills of  home.
