INTRO

7 -8 8 9 -8 8 7

-7 -6 6 5 -4 4 7

-7 -6 6 5 -4 4 -4

5 6 -6 6 5

FIRST VERSE

6 -6 -7   6  5 -6 -7 7 -6 6 5  4
Farewell to all our Scottish way

5 -5 5  -4 4  -4 5 6 -6 6 5
Farewell our ancient glory

6 -6 -7   6 5 -6 -7  7 -6 6 5  4
Farewell even to our Scottish name

5   -5   5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
So famed in martial story

7 -8 8 -9 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 4 6
Now Sark runs over the Solway ferth

-6    7   -7 7 -8 7 -8 8 -8 -6
And Tweed runs to the ocean

7  -8 8 9 -8 8 7 -7 -6   6 5 -4 4  7
To mark where England's province stands

-7  -6  6 5    4   -4    5 6 -6 6 5
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation

SECOND VERSE

6    -6   -7 6 5 -6  -7   7 -6 6 5 4
What force or guile could not subdue

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
Through many warlike ages

-6 -7 6 5 -6 -7 7 -6 6 5 4
Is roth now by a coward few

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
For hireling traitor's wages

7 -8 8 -9 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 4 6
The English steel we could disdain

-7 7 -7 7 -8 7 -8 8 -8 -6
Secure in valour's station

7 -8 8 9 -8 8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 4 7
But we're bought and we're sold for English gold

-7 -6 6 5 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation

THIRD VERSE

6 -6 -7 6 5 -6 -7 7 -6 6 5 4
O would ere I had seen the day

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
That treason thus could sell us

6 -6 -7 6 5 -6 -7 7 -6 6 5 4
My auld grey head had lien in clay

5 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
With Bruce and loyal Wallace

7 -8 8 -9 8 -8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 4 6
But pith and power till my last hour

-6 7 -7 7 -8 7 -8 8 -8 -6
I'll mak this declaration

7 -8 8 9 -8 8 7 -7 -6 6 5 -4 4 7
That we're bought and sold for English gold

-7 -6 6 5 4 -4 5 6 -6 6 5
Such a parcel o' rogues in a nation
