_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ [A#] Okay, do you have a wee dance?
Here we go.
This is North America.
Come on!
[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
[E] From a pile of grey stones that once was our home, high on a [F#m] hillside we built a wee [B] pen.
_ [E] We are marking the land that fed five generations.
The life of the land is what's mere [B] than a pen.
_ _ [A] To the blue the ocean ahead, [E] that's how the homeland was swung [B] in the main. _
[E] The greens and the purples, the clouds and the crevices,
no more than crevices, an ocean [B] behind.
Here we go.
[E] And we're sailing away, [A] up to [E] America, to the land [A] of our _
[E] hands.
And you are [B] a part of us, we're the highlands [C#m] behind us.
[E] And our hearts carry Scotland, _ [B] far away land.
That's great.
[E] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _
[E] We believe the menace that lunges his final blow, a nature of survival in every [B] word said.
_ _ [E] Never before had these green beads surpassed it, grassland the hungry, the sick [B] and the dead.
_ _ [A] We have precious new pennies and mason and spence, [E] no jobs but we take no arms [B] off the way. _ _
[E] And what could we wish for but food on a table, cars all the winter and what for [B] a brain?
And [E] we're sailing away, [A] up to [E] America, to [A] the land of [E] our hands.
And you are [B] a part of us, we're the highlands [C#m] behind us.
[E] And our hearts carry Scotland, _ [B] far [E] away land.
_ _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] I [E] have hope that we'll grasp any task you can offer, and that we'll lift any load you [B] can bring.
_ _ I hope that [A] we'll listen and learn how you'll bring them, and that we'll be strong as a sliver [B] of air.
_ _ [A] Now ready before us and many will follow, [E] King Dredd from Ireland and Welsh from [B] these days. _
[E] They've laid the foundation and built a great nation, the heart of America's Celtic [B] with pride.
Here we go.
And [E] we're sailing away, _ [A] up to [E] America, to the land [A] _ of our [E] hands.
[B] You are a part of us, we're the [C#m] highlands behind us.
[E] And our hearts carry [B] Scotland, far away land.
[E] And we're sailing away.
[A] Let's have a little song.
[E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _
[C#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _
I [E] think it should do it, do it again.
And we're sailing away.
[A] _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ Absolutely class, guys, [B] class. _
_ _ [C#m] I'll tell you what, [E] we'll do it again. _
Once more, go on.
And we're sailing away, [A] up [E] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ to America.
_ _ [A] _
Right, here we go.
I am the [E] mother of all and in our youth [B] you will find us
But I [C#m] left behind us
And our [E] hearts got each scarlet [B] scarlet
To [C] borrow it _ _
[A] out _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
How about that one, that was probably a good one.
That was deep! _ _
