Lonely I wander through [Dm] scenes of my [C] childhood.
They call back [A#] to memory those [F] happy days of [C]

[F] No light in [A#] the window, [F] no welcome at the door.
Here's where the children [Dm] played games on the [C] heather.
[F] Here's where [A#] they sailed their [F] wee boats on [C] the burn.
[F] Where are [C] they now?
Some [Dm] are dead, some [C] have wandered.

[F#]
Lone is [G#] the house now, [D#m] and lonely the [C#] moorland.
[F#] The children are [B] scattered, the [F#] old folk are gone.
[F#] Why stand [C#] I here like [D#m] a ghost and [C#] a shadow?
