Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Let Italy  boast of her gay gilded waters,
 Her vines  and her bowers  and her soft  sunny skies.
 Her sons  drinking love, from the eyes of her daughters,
 Where freedom expires  amid softness  and sighs.
Scotland's  blue mountains wild, where hoary  cliffs are piled,
Towering  in grandeur  are dearer  tae me.
Land  of the misty cloud, land of the tempest loud,
Land  of the brave  and proud,  land of the free.
 Enthroned on the peak of her own highland mountains,
 The spirit of Scotia reigns fearless and free.
 Her green tartan waving o'er blue rock and fountain,
 And proudly she sings, looking over the sea.
 Here among my mountains wild, I have serenely smiled,
 When armies and empires against me were hurled.
 Firm as my native rock I have withstood the shock,
 Of England, of Denmark, of Rome and the world.
But  see how proudly her war steeds are prancing,
Deep  groves of steel  trodden down  in their path.
The  eyes of my sons like their bright swords are glancing,
Triumphantly  riding  through ruin  and death.
Bold  hearts and nodding plumes wave  o'er their bloody tombs,
Deepeyed  in gore  is the green  tartan's wave.
Shivering  are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
Victorious  in battlefield Scotland  the brave.
 Bold hearts and nodding plumes wave o'er their bloody tombs,
 Deepeyed in gore is the green tartan's wave.
 Shivering are the ranks of steel, dire is the horseman's wheel,
 Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
 Victorious in battlefield Scotland the brave.
