Massacre Of Glencoe Chords & Lyrics - Misc Traditional

Oh cru[G]el is the snow that s[C]weeps Glen[G]coe
[G]And covers the grave o' Don[D]ald
And cruel [G]was the foe that[C] raped Glenc[G]oe
And murder[C]ed the [D]house o' MacDonald[G]

[VERSE 1]

They c[G]ame through the bliz[D]zard, we offered them [G]heat
A roof[D] o'wer their heads, d[G]ry shoes for their f[D]eet.
We win[G]ed them and d[D]ined them, they [G]ate of our meat
And s[C]lept in the house[D] O' MacDon[G]ald

[CHORUS]
Oh cru[G]el is the snow that s[C]weeps Glen[G]coe
[G]And covers the grave o' Don[D]ald
And cruel [G]was the foe that[C] raped Glenc[G]oe
And murder[C]ed the [D]house o' MacDonald[G]

They c[G]ame from Fort W[D]illiam with mur[G]der mind
The Ca[D]mpbell's had orders, King Wil[G]liam had sig[D]ned
Put a[G]ll to the sw[D]ord, these words under[G]lined
And l[C]eave none alive called[D] MacDona[G]ld

[CHORUS]
Oh cru[G]el is the snow that s[C]weeps Glen[G]coe
[G]And covers the grave o' Don[D]ald
And cruel [G]was the foe that[C] raped Glenc[G]oe
And murder[C]ed the [D]house o' MacDonald[G]

They c[G]ame in the n[D]ight when the m[G]en were asleep
That b[D]and of Argyles, through s[G]now soft and d[D]eep.
Like mu[G]rdering f[D]oxes, amo[G]ngst helpless sheep
They sl[C]aughtered the house[D] O'MacDona[G]ld

[CHORUS]
Oh cru[G]el is the snow that s[C]weeps Glen[G]coe
[G]And covers the grave o' Don[D]ald
And cruel [G]was the foe that[C] raped Glenc[G]oe
And murder[C]ed the [D]house o' MacDonald[G]

Some die[G]d in their b[D]eds at the ha[G]nds of the foe
Some fl[D]ed in the night, and were [G]lost in the sn[D]ow.
Some[G] lived to accuse [D]him, that st[G]ruck the first blow
But go[C]ne was the house of[D] MacDona[G]ld

[CHORUS]
Oh cru[G]el is the snow that s[C]weeps Glen[G]coe
[G]And covers the grave o' Don[D]ald
And cruel [G]was the foe that[C] raped Glenc[G]oe
And murder[C]ed the [D]house o' MacDonald[G]
