[C] _ _ Attention, my _ _ _ [F] _ countrymen, [C] and hear [F] my native [B] _ _ _ [C] news
[G] Although _ my song [C] is _ _ sorrowful, [A] I hope you'll me _ [C] excuse
[G] _ _ _
I left my _ [Am] native _ [C] country, _ a foreign land [F] to see _ _

_ [C] _ _ [G] _ Glenswillie
[C] _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] Whilst on a _ summer's _ _ [F] morning, [Am] at the _ [F] dawning of [C] the _ day _
[G] I left my _ peaceful, [Am] happy _ [Em] _
home [Am] to _ [Dm] wander far [G] _ _ away _
And as I viewed [C] that grand old glen, _ perhaps no more [F] to _ see
Should [Em] I thought my [C] heart [F] would [Fm] surely [D] _
break [G] when _ leaving [Dm] _
_ [C] _ _ [G] Glenswillie _
_ [C] _ [Am] Raced _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] all with men, _ around [F] me stood [C] my comrades, [F] kind and true
[C] _ _ _
[Em] And as I grasped [C] each man _ _ [A] to bid [Dm] my last [A] _ adieu
[G] _ _
I said, my _ [Am] gallant _ _ _ [C]
countrymen, I hope you'll yet [F] be free _ _
[Em] To see [C] the _ [F] sunburst, _ [C#] prolly wave, [G] for the hills of _
_ [C] _ Glenswillie _ _
_ _ _ [Am] No _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [C] _ more am I bound to say [F] come words, I'll [C] hear [F] the blackbird [C] _ sing _ _
[G] No more I'll hear [Am] the blithe [Em] cuckoo [Am] to _ [Dm] welcome back [Gm] the spring
_ [G] _
No more I'll plough [C] those _ feral fields, I'll hushly _ [F] gallop free _ _ _
[Em] On a foreign [C] _
soil [F] I'm doomed [D] to toil far [G] away from _
_ [C] _ Glenswillie
[G] _ _
[C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _
[C] God bless you the dark, cold and [F] lethal, _ [C] my home, [F] my native [B] land
_ _ [Cm]
In [G] _ dreams I'll see [C] your heather _ [B] _
glens [A] and _ [Dm] towering [C] mountains grand _ _ _
[G] God bless the day, [B] truly it come [C] wrong, when I'll return [F] to thee _ _
[Em] And I'll live [C] as my _ [F] _ [C#] forefathers lived, [G] and die in _
[Am] Glenswillie _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ [C#] _ _ [C] _ _
