[INTRO]
[D]

[D]Though I may speak some tongue of old,
Or [D/G]even spit [D]out some [A]holy [D]word,
[D]I have no strength with which to speak
When you [D/G]sit me [D]down and [A]see I’m [D] weak.

(Melody Line)

We will [G]run and [D]scream,
You will [G]dance with [D]me,
We’ll f[G]ulfill ou[D]r dreams, and we’ll[A] be free.

(Highland Pipe Solo)

We will [G]run and [D]scream,
You will [G]dance with [D]me,
We’ll f[G]ulfill ou[D]r dreams, and we’ll[A] be free.
We will [G]be who we [D]are,
And they’l[G]l heal ou[D]r scars;
Sadness [G]will be [D]far away.[A]

(Melody Line x 2)

[D]So I had done wrong but you put me right.
My [D/G]judgment [D]burned in the [A]black of [D]night.
[D]When I give less than I take
It [D/G]is my [D]fault, my [A]own [D]mistake.

We will [G]run and [D]scream,
You will [G]dance with [D]me,
We'll ful[G]fill our [D]dreams, and we’ll b[A]e free.
We will [G]be who we [D]are,
And they’l[G]l heal our[D] scars;
Sadness[G] will [D]be far away.[A]

*Notes and Notations*
1. This is a very straightforward song, though the recording insinuates much more than
what is going on in the guitar part. The progressive and very powerful melody is actually
handled by a combination of piano, five string open back banjo, cello, and the highland
bagpipes. That being said, I tabbed out the melody line in chord fashion for a bit of
extra challenge. In honesty, the entirety of the verses are played with deviations on a
D chord, but that’s not exactly fun nor intriguing tablature, now is it?
2. Due to the nature of uploading for these tabs, and I'm not sure if it will come
through, any time you see a weird series of code, that is where an apostrophe was
supposed to be.
3. Coincidence aside, yes, the three big songs from Brave are all in D major with
similar time signatures and chord patterns. D major is incredibly common in Gaeilge (Irish)
and Gaidhlig (Scottish) music. As for the key signatures, it’s mere coincidence.
4. Once more, feel free to request tabs for any folk music you happen to come across.
Just don’t ask me to tab out rock…I don’t do the electric instruments.
5.Seilbheich; meal dibhearsain. (Have fun)
