[Verse 1]
BbHark when the night is falling,
BbHear! hear the pipes are calling,
EbLoudly and Bbproudly calling,
FDown thro' the F7glen.
BbThere where the hills are sleeping,
BbNow feel the blood a-leaping,
EbHigh as the Bbspirits of the Fold Highland Bbmen.
[chorus]
FTowering in gallant fame,
BbScotland my mountain hame,
EbHigh may your Bbproud standards Fgloriously F7wave,
BbLand of my high endeavour,
BbLand of the shining river,
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
[Verse 2]
BbHigh in the misty Highlands
BbOut by the purple islands,
EbBrave are the Bbhearts that beat
Be Fneath Scottish F7skies.
BbWild are the winds to meet you,
BbStaunch are the friends that greet you,
EbKind as the Bblove that shines from Ffair maidens' Bbeyes.
[chorus]
FTowering in gallant fame,
BbScotland my mountain hame,
EbHigh may your Bbproud standards Fgloriously F7wave,
BbLand of my high endeavour,
BbLand of the shining river,
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
[Verse 3]
BbFar off in sunlit places
BbSad are the Scottish faces
EbYearning to Bbfeel the kiss
Of Fsweet Scottish F7rain
BbWhere tropic skies are beaming
BbLove sets the heart a-dreaming
EbLonging and Bbdreaming for the Fhomeland a-Bbgain
[chorus]
FTowering in gallant fame,
BbScotland my mountain hame,
EbHigh may your Bbproud standards Fgloriously F7wave,
BbLand of my high endeavour,
BbLand of the shining river,
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
[Verse 4]
BbHot as a burning ember
BbFlaming in bleak December
EbBurning with-Bbin the hearts
Of Fclansmen a-F7far
BbCalling to home and fire
BbCalling the sweet desire
EbShining a Bblight that beckons Ffrom every Bbstar
[chorus]
FTowering in gallant fame,
BbScotland my mountain hame,
EbHigh may your Bbproud standards Fgloriously F7wave,
BbLand of my high endeavour,
BbLand of the shining river,
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
[chorus]
FTowering in gallant fame,
BbScotland my mountain hame,
EbHigh may your Bbproud standards Fgloriously F7wave,
BbLand of my high endeavour,
BbLand of the shining river,
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
[Outro]
EbLand of my Bbheart for ever,
FScotland the Bbbrave.
