    Scotland the Brave
    (words Cliff Hanley [1950s], arrang. J. Ferguson, Jan. 2014)
    110 bpm
    V1.
    C
    Hark, where the night is falling.
    Hear, hear the pipes a-calling,
    F C G G7
    loudly and proudly calling down through the glen.
    C
    Up where the hills are sleeping,
    now feel the blood a-leaping,
    F C G C
    high as the spirits of the old Hieland men.
    Chorus:
    G
    Towering in gallant fame,
    C
    Scotland my mountain hame!
    F G
    High may your proud standards gloriously wave.
    C
    Land of my high endeavour,
    land of the shining river,
    F C G C
    land of my heart forever: Scotland the brave.
    Interlude: C G C
    V2.
    Up in the misty Highlands,
    out by the purple islands,
    brave are the hearts that beat beneath Scottish skies.
    Wild are the winds that meet you,
    staunch are the friends that greet you,
    kind as the love that shines from fair maidens' eyes.
    Chorus:
    V3.
    Far off in sunlit places,
    sad are the Scottish faces,
    longing to feel the kiss of sweet Scottish rain.
    Where tropic skies are beaming,
    love sets the heart a-dreaming,
    longing and dreaming of the homeland again.
    Chorus: [repeat, and draw out final line]
    Outro: F C G C

I would love to see this appear on a CD, and I would be interested to hear your rendition of "Eileen Og", if you're interested in trying. Make it known if you put another CD out, I'll be buying it.

      That's because this song was also sang by the Yanks, I think, but not sure. Remember that many of the American immigrants are originally English, Scottish and Irish.
      In addition, a new version of the song was reaby an American band in the 50's, called "My Bonnie Lassie". :)
