The Corries - Dark lochnagar

^GAway, ye gay landscapes, ye ^Emgardens o' r^Goses. In ^Cyou let the ^Gminions of luxury ^Drove. Res^Gtore me the rocks where ^Emsnowflake re^Gposes If ^Cstill they are ^Gsacred to ^Dfreedom and l^Gove Brave Caledonia, ^Cdear are thy ^Gmountains, Round their white ^Csummits though ^Emelements ^Dwar. Tho’ ^Gcataracts roar 'stead of ^Csmooth flowing ^Dfountains, I ^Gsigh for the val^Cleys o' ^Ddark Lochna^Ggarr.

Ah, ^Gthere my young footsteps in ^Eminfancy ^Gwandered. My ^Ccap was my b^Gonnet, my cloak was my ^Dplaid. On ^Gchieftains long perished my ^Emmemory ^Glingered As ^Cdaily I ^Gstrayed through the ^Dpine covered ^Gglade. I sought not my home till the ^Cdays dying gl^Gory. Gave place to the ^Crays o' the ^Embright polar ^Dstar My ^Gfancy was cheered by the ^Cbold martial ^Dstory As ^Gtold by the ^Csons o' ^DDark Lochna^Ggar.

^GYears have rolled on, Lochna^Emgar, since I ^Gleft you ^CYears must roll ^Gon ere I see you a^Dgain Though ^GNature of verdure and ^Emflowers be^Greft you Yet ^Cstill art thou ^Gdearer than ^DAlbion's ^Gplain England! thy beauties are ^Ctame and dome^Gstic To one who has ^Croved on the ^Emmountains a^Dfar ^GO for the crags that are ^Cwild and ma^Djestic The ^Gsteep frowning glo^Cries o' ^Dwild Lochna^Ggar.

^GBrave Caledonia, ^Cdear are thy ^Gmountains I sigh for the val^Cley o' ^Ddark Lochna^Ggar

Ill ^Gstarred now the brave did no ^Emvision fore^Gboding. ^CTell you that ^Gfate had forsaken our ^Dcause ^GYet were you destined to ^Emdie at Cul^Gloden? Though ^Cvictory ^Gcrowned not your ^Dfall with ^Gapplause. Yet were you happy in death's ^Cearthly ^Gslumber Tae sleep wi’ your ^Cclan in the ^Emcaves of Brae^Dmar The ^Gpibroch resounds tae the ^Cpiper's loud ^Dnumbers Your ^Gdeeds tae the e^Cchoes o’ ^Ddark Lochna^Ggar. Your ^Gdeeds tae the e^Cchoes o’ ^Ddark Lochna^Ggar. (fading repeat)

^GBrave Caledonia, ^Cdear are thy ^Gmountains I sigh for the val^Cley o' ^Ddark Lochna^Ggar
