Tae the [D]Lords o’ convention ‘twas [G]Claverhouse [D]spoke

Come [D]fill up my cup, come [A]fill up can 
Come saddle my horses and [D]call out my men 
Unhook the West [A]Port and [D]let us gae [G]free

Dun[D]dee he is mounted and [G]rides up the [D]street 
The bells tae ring backwards, the [A]drums tae are beat

When the toon is well [A]rid o’ that [D]devil Dundee

There are [D]hills beyond Pentland and [G]lands beyond [D]Forth 
Be there lords in the south, there are [A]chiefs in the north

Chorus
Then a[D]wa tae the hill to the [G]lee and the [D]rocks 
Ere I own a usurper I’ll [A]crouch with the fox

For you’ve no seen the [A]last of my [D]bonnets and me
