Gaberlunzie - Back o beyond

^CThe tang o' the pines is f^Fine as it hangs on the a^Cir ^{F C G} The sum^Cmer sun smi^Fles, for wh^Ciles he hasn't a c^Gare The ri^Cver runs free, and the ^Fbee sings her honeycomb s^Cong ^{F C G} By the si^Cde o' the track that le^Fads tae the back o' be^Cyond ^{F C G}

The o^Cnly real life is the li^Ffe of the travelling ma^Cn ^{F C G} Fr^Cee as the sm^Foke are the^C folk of the tr^Gavelling van At pea^Cce with the breeze, the t^Frees and the birds on the p^Cond ^{F C G} By the s^Cide o' the track that le^Fads tae the back o' be^Cyond ^{F C G}

The chi^Cldren they yearn to le^Farn the word of the sch^Cool^{F C G} The o^Cld-ways are g^Fone like rai^Cndrops that fall in the p^Gool But we'll t^Ceach them to care, set a sn^Fare, and live off the l^Cand ^{F C G} As they w^Cander the track that le^Fads to the back o' bey^Cond ^{F C G}

B^Cut be on your guard, for h^Fard are the winters of ^Chom^Fe ^{C G} Twe^Cnty below and the s^Fnow lying h^Card as the sto^Gne There's lit^Ctle to eat, and h^Feat, just a memory g^Cone ^{F C G} By the si^Cde o' the track that le^Fads tae the back o' be^Cyond ^{F C G}

Aye ma^Cybe it's true, that y^Fou have a mansion and l^Cand^{F C G} And ma^Cybe the w^Fife likes the l^Cife that is unco and gr^Gand But I'm h^Cappy to be, just ^Fme as I'm dodging al^Cong ^{F C G} Tae the e^Cnd o' the track that le^Fads tae the back o' be^Cyond ^{F C G}

The t^Cang o' the pines is fi^Fne as it hangs on the a^Cir ^{F C G} The sum^Cmer sun smi^Fles, for wh^Ciles he hasn't a c^Gare The ri^Cver runs free, and the ^Fbee sings her honeycomb s^Cong ^{F C G} By the si^Cde o' the track that le^Fads tae the back o' bey^Cond ^{F C}
