Intro:  Bb - Eb - F - Bb

Verse
    Bb                                                
Let Italy boast of her gay gilded waters, 
    Eb             Bb             F
Her vines and her bowers and her soft sunny skies.
    Bb  
Her sons drinking love, from the eyes of her daughters,
       Eb      Bb            F           Bb          A   G
Where freedom expires amid softness and sighs.

Chorus
F                                     Bb                           
Scotland's blue mountains wild, where hoary cliffs are piled, 
C            Bb           G         F
Towering in grandeur are dearer tae me.
Bb
Land of the misty cloud, land of the tempest loud,
Eb          Bb               F             Bb         Eb  Bb  F  Bb  
Land of the brave and proud,   land of the free.

Verse
    Bb                                                                       
Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains, 
     Eb        Bb            F
The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free.
     Bb  
Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain,
     Eb          Bb             F       Bb         A  G
And proudly she sings, looking over the sea.

Chorus
F                                     Bb                    
Here among my mountains wild, I have serenely smiled, 
C               Bb        G              F
When armies and empires against me were hurled.
Bb
Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock,
Eb          Bb          F               Bb          Eb  Bb  F  Bb  
Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world.

Verse
C                                                                      
But see how proudly her war steeds are prancing, 
F              C             G
Deep groves of steel trodden down in their path.
C
The eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing,
F            C              G        C          B  A
Triumphantly riding through ruin and death.

Chorus
G                              C                                        
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, 
D            C            A              G
Deep-eyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
C
Shivering are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
F             C           G            C
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.

G                              C                                        
Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs, 
D            C            A             G
Deep-eyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
C
Shivering are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
F             C           G            C
Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
