Fareweel oor ancient glory
                          F
Fareweel tae our Scottish name
                  C       Am
That's praised in martial story
        C                          
Noo the Sark, it runs tae the

Solway sands

Tweed, it runs tae the ocean
    C

Sic' a parcel o' rogues in a nation

[Verse 2]
What force nor guile could not 
   F
subdue

Through many warlike ages

Oh, the English steel we could

disdain
        G        Am
Safe in valour's station

Aye, but English gold has been oor

             C      Am
That treason thus befell us
                              F
My aul' grey heid hae lien in clay
              C     Am
Wi' Bruce and loyal Wallace
         C                         
Aye, wi' pith and power 'til my 
  F
last hour
               G    Am
I'll mak' this declaration
        C
