Lyrics :

B5 Bb5 Ab5              F#5       B5
Down from the glen came the marching men
B5 Bb5 Ab5                 B5      F#5
with their shields and their swords
B5 Bb5 Ab5                 F#5    B5
to fight the fight they believed to be right
B5 Bb5 Ab5            B5        Eb5 Eb5 Eb5 (etc.)
to overthrow their overlords.

To the town where there was plenty
they brought plunder, swords and flame
when they left the town was empty
children would never play again.

(can't remember 3'rd verse)

The bridges in the song are based on simple scale patterns, and aren't too
hard to work out. The solo is also fairly easy-ish, but requires a lot of
work to tab and learn (so is not included here - I'm lazy)
