Scotland Lyrics And Chords by The McCalmans

(© Ian McCalman MCPS/PRS)
Written by Ian McCalman.
Back to the collection of Scottish folk songs by The McCalmans .

[D)Here's to a(Bm)nother time
Of (Em)harmony and (G)simple rhyme 
When (D)new friends and (Bm)old combine
To (G)share our (D)country's (A)sto(D)ry 
(Bm)Cold winter's (G)past and (D)gone
(Bm)Summer days are (D)stretching (A)long 
And (Bm)oh that (G)I were (D)staying (Bm)on
But (G)she is (D)gently (A)cal(D)ling
 
Chorus
(Bm)Scotland I (G)hear your (D)name
In (Bm)every cry of (D)bitter (A)pain
Oh (Bm)freedom’s (G)call has (D)been the (Bm)game
That (G)you have (D)played so (A)brave(D)ly
 
Re(D)member now the (Bm)hills of snow
And (Em)heather moors where (G)rivers flow 
The (D)ancient thistle (Bm)there did grow
Till (G)southern (D)winds came (A)blo(D)wing 
(Bm)England the (G)sovereign (D)might
Re(Bm)luctant neighbours (D)bitter (A)fights 
And (Bm)marriage (G)vows de(D)void of (Bm)rights
To (G)stop the (D)blood from (A)flo(D)wing
 
Chorus
 
And (D)now the bloody (Bm)battle's o'er
The (Em)union flag's with(G)in our door 
The (D)lion sleeps when (Bm)once it roared
The (G)kingdom (D)is un(A)i(D)ted
(Bm)Warm summers (G)past and (D)gone
A (Bm)chilling wind is (D)blowing (A)strong
The (Bm)nights are (G)hard and (D)oh so (Bm)long,
A(G)nother (D)winter’s (A)co(D)ming
