Em  D  Em  D  C  D  C  D  (2x)

[Chorus]
Em       D           C     Bm
Cold the wind on the moors blow
Em       D       C    Bm
Warm the enemy's fire glows
G         Am      C       Em
Black the harvest of Culloden
C        Bm       C     Em
Pain and fear and death grow


[Verse 1]
      C           D               C         G
'Twas love of our prince drove us on to Drumossie
       Em           Bm           C
But in scarcely the time that it takes me to tell
                  D           C              G
The flower of our country lay scorched by an army
   Em           Bm         C
As ruthless and red as the embers of hell


[Chorus]
Em       D           C     Bm
Cold the wind on the moors blow
Em       D       C    Bm
Warm the enemy's fire glows
G         Am      C       Em
Black the harvest of Culloden
C        Bm       C     Em
Pain and fear and death grow

[Verse 2]
    C            D           C           G
Red Campbell the Fox did the work of the English
   Em        Bm         C
MacDonald in anger, did no work at all
                D              C          G
With musket and cannon 'gainst honour and courage
      Em          Bm               C
The invader's men stood, while our clansmen did fall


[Chorus]
Em       D           C     Bm
Cold the wind on the moors blow
Em       D       C    Bm
Warm the enemy's fire glows
G         Am      C       Em
Black the harvest of Culloden
C        Bm       C     Em
Pain and fear and death grow


[Verse 3]
    C           D            C             G
Now mothers and children are left to their weeping
     Em       Bm        C
With only the memory of father and son
                    D             C           G
Turned out of their homes to make shelter for strangers
    Em          Bm            C
The blackest of hours on this land has begun


[Chorus]
Em       D           C     Bm
Cold the wind on the moors blow
Em       D       C    Bm
Warm the enemy's fire glows
G         Am      C       Em
Black the harvest of Culloden
C        Bm       C     Em
Pain and fear and death grow
