Dark Lochnagar

C
Away, ye gay landscapes, ye gardens 
o' roses.
  F            C               
In you let the minions of luxury 
   G
rove.
     C
Restore me the rocks where snowflake
 reposes
     F                C        G 
If still they are sacred to 
        C
freedom and love
  C              F           C
Brave Caledonia, dear are thy 
mountains,
Round their white summits though 
       G
elements war.
      C
Tho’ cataracts roar 'stead of smooth
 flowing fountains,
    C                       G
I sigh for the valleys o' dark 
        C
Lochnagarr.


  C
Ah, there my young footsteps in 
infancy wandered.
  F            C                  
My cap was my bonnet, my cloak was
      G
 my plaid.
     C
On chieftains long perished my 
memory lingered
     F                C          
As daily I strayed through the 
G            C
pine covered glade.
   C                            F 
I sought not my home till the days
          C
 dying glory.
Gave place to the rays o' the bright
        G
 polar star

My fancy was cheered by the bold 
martial story
     C                     
As told by the sons o' Dark 
   G        C
Lochnagar.


  C
Years have rolled on, Lochnagar, 
since I left you
  F                  C         
Years must roll on ere I see you 
           G
again
     C
Though Nature of verdure and flowers
 bereft you
     F                 C     
Yet still art thou dearer than 
     G            C
Albion's plain
   C                            F 
 England! thy beauties are tame 
          C
and domestic
 To one who has roved on the 
   G
mountains afar
      C
Oh for the crags that are wild and 
majestic
      C                         G 
The steep frowning glories o' wild
       C
 Lochnagar.



 C
Ill starred now the brave did no 
vision foreboding.
  F                 C             
Tell you that fate had forsaken 
      G
our cause
     C
Yet were you destined to die at 
Culloden?
   F                 C           
Though victory crowned not your 
G            C
fall with applause.
   C                         
Yet were you happy in death's 
   F           C
earthly slumber
Tae sleep wi’ your clan in the caves
        G
 of Braemar
      C
The pibroch resounds tae the piper's
 loud numbers
     C                        G
Your deeds on the echoes o’ dark 
        C
Lochnagar.


PA YED SLOWLY
  C               F        
Brave Caledonia dear are thy 
      C
mountains
                 C          
I sigh for the valley o' dark 
G        C
Lochnagar
