The Wisest Fool

G                       F       
Murray bowed to Charlie, yokin' 
G                    F
Atholl tae the plou'
       G                      F   
O' the settin sons of Stewart, 
       G                        F
kings and princes since the Bruce
G                      F        
Rode to Perth to muster all who 
G                      F
hailed the Rover King
        G                      
And wi' weary work and bluster, 
F         G                  F
hewed an army frae his kin

[Chorus]
                   C
If only the wisest fool
    F                          G
Had bade where he first should rule
   F               C
If only the wisest fool
    F                          G
Had bade where he first should rule
F                    C
Henry's for England, Charles for 
Spain
F         F/E    G
Seamus is Alba's name

G                     F    
Johnny held a tinchel, as the 
   G                        F
crystal turned to steel
        G                     
And the heroes o' the Heilans, 
F           G                      F
filled Braemar wi' a' their zeal
G                       F        
Johnny hummed and hawed, let the 
G                     F
loyal Lowlands spile
        G                      
Back to France the Rover sailed 
F          G               F
afore the army of Argyll

G                          F     
Clavers slipped the council as 
   G                       F
they offered Will the crown
            G                   
Climbed the law to find an army, 
F           G                    
turned and pulled the Orange down
   F

G                        F  
Though the Heilan' targes were 
    G                   F
enough to cow McKay
       G                      F   
To the death of Bonnie Dundee, 
   G                 F
loyal men had no reply
