(D) I have travelled all this world around
And rare (G) beauty in some (D) lands I've found
but to (G) me none
can com(A)pare with my Scot(D)land.
I've met many friends along the way
and they (G) tried but could not (D) make me
stay
a(G)way from the (A) land I love, my Scot(D)land.
So (A) when I die please take me back
to the (G) land where I was (D) born.
And (A) gently lay me (G) down
in peaceful (D) sleep.
With (e) clear rippling waters (G) flowing by
and the (A) mountains reaching (D) to the sky
then
I (G) know I'll rest in (A) peace in my Scot(D)land

and (G) many lost their (A) fight for life
to (D) keep their country (A) free.
But (D) all their hopes and dreams live on
I can (G) feel them close though (D)

Their (G) spirit still lives (A) on within the hearts of you and (D) me.
So (A) when I die please take me back
to the (G) land where I was (D) born.
And (A) gently lay me (G) down
in peaceful (D) sleep.
With (e) clear rippling waters (G) flowing by

then
I (G) know I'll rest in (A) peace in my Scot(D)land
With (e) clear rippling waters (G) flowing by
