Track 1 : A Red, Red Rose


 G      D      C        D
O my Luve's like a red, red rose,
       G     C         Am 
That's newly sprung in June:
     G      D        C   D 
O my Luve's like the melodie,
       G       C         G 
That's sweetly play'd in tune.
 
   G        D        C     D
As fair art thou, my bonie lass,
   G       C       Am 
So deep in luve am I; 
    G      D         C         D
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
     G      C         G 
Till a' the seas gang dry. 

     G      D         C       D
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
        G          C       Am 
And the rocks melt wi' the sun; 
    G      D         C         D
And I will luve thee still, my dear, 
          G        C          G
While the sands o' life shall run. 

    G         D        C        D
And fare-thee-weel, my only Luve! 
    G         C       Am
And fare-thee-weel, a while! 
    G      D     C        D
And I will come again, my Luve,
      G         C        D 
Tho' 'twere ten thousand mile!

Track 2 : Old Scots Drink



        Am             Fmaj7
Gie him drink until he wink, 
          C          E
He that's sinking in despair; 
           Am               Fmaj7
And liquor guid to fire his bluid, 
       C                   E
That's prest wi' grief and care:
              Am              Fmaj7 
There let him bouse, an' deep carouse, 
    C               E
Wi' bumpers flowing o'er, 
        Am                   Fmaj7
Till he forgets his loves or debts, 
    C                   E
An' minds his griefs no more

Middle :
Am
Well your sittin in the corner,
Fmaj7
A fair, dram in yer hand (pronounced hon)
C
An' Yer pickin up the pieces,
E
Though you can barely stand (pronounced ston)

Am
An' yeh picture her fine face,
Fmaj7
All, gleaming white,
C
As yer tryin to find yer way home,
E
In the - dead of night.

Am
You whisper in the darkness,
Fmaj7
Even Though she cannot hear,
C
A soft, but clear, I love you,
E
A love a-washed with fear.

Am
An' its the drink that does the talkin,
Fmaj7
When the police pick you up,
C
When youve been lying on the pavement,
E
On the filth an' grime an' muck

Am
But just before you know it,
Fmaj7
Yer in the back eh' a squad car,
C
Givin those poor coppers hastle,
E
Wishin, you're back at the bar.

Am
Coz the drink is dryin up now,
Fmaj7
An' head is feelin sore,
C
A night spent at the station,
E
Before breaking down your own back door,

Am
Because you lost the key that evening,
Fmaj7
Somewhere along the road,
C
Coz you cant escape the mindset,
E
Of not doin what your told.

Am
Coz life it aint that easy,
Fmaj7
When every day is just the same,
C
When every body's just plain boring,
E
When no - body knows your name.

Am   Am     Am    Am   Am
WHEN NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME

Fmaj7 Fmaj7  Fmaj7 Fmaj7 Fmaj7
WHEN  NOBODY KNOWS YOUR  NAME

C    C  C   C    C
LIFE IS NOT THAT EASY

E    E      E     E    E 
WHEN NOBODY KNOWS YOUR NAME


so

        Am             Fmaj7
Gie him drink until he wink, 
          C          E
He that's sinking in despair; 
           Am               Fmaj7
And liquor guid to fire his bluid, 
       C                   E
That's prest wi' grief and care:
              Am              Fmaj7 
There let him bouse, an' deep carouse, 
    C               E
Wi' bumpers flowing o'er, 
        Am                   Fmaj7
Till he forgets his loves or debts, 
    C                   E
An' minds his griefs no more

To save the Lord the trou-ble.

Verses:

C          G               Am
Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
C           G               Am 
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
C         G          Am 
Welcome to your gory bed,
C - G            Am  
      Or to Victorie! 

C         G                  Am
Now's the day, and now's the hour;
C       G               Am 
See the front o' battle lour; 
C            G              Am
See approach proud Edward's power- 
C - G                 Am
      Chains and Slaverie! 

C        G            Am
Wha will be a traitor knave?
C       G               Am 
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
C       G            Am 
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
C - G                  Am
      Let him turn and flee!

Wha, for Scotland's King and Law,

By your Sons in servile chains!
C       G                 Am 
We will drain our dearest veins,
C - G                   Am
      But they shall be free! 

C       G              Am
Lay the proud Usurpers low!
C       G             Am 
Tyrants fall in every foe!

Sae jimply lac'd her genty waist,

That sweetly ye might span.

Youth, Grace, and Love attendant move,

In a' their charms, and conquering arms, 
     C       Am    Em

   C        Em      C        Em
Ye gallants braw, I rede you a',

Beware o' bonie Ann!
