[VERSE 1]

There w[A]as a man sae d[E]ark and true
Wha Sc[D]otland lo[E]o`ed sae d[A]ear
Th[A]ere was a King wha l[E]ang will rue
the Sc[D]ots wha fl[E]ayed him s[A]air
Gan c[E]ry the hounds o`D[D]ouglas v[A]ale
Gan s[E]tring the Ettrik b[A]ow
[A]Gan warn the spears o'L[E]iddiesdale
that [D]Edward [E]leads the f[A]oe

[VERSE 2]

He [A]wore the cross oor [E]Andrew wore
by [D]the steps o'C[E]alvar[A]y
he [A]won the sword oor [E]Robert wore
by the [D]field [E]o'Balv[A]ennie
Gan s[E]hear the chains o[D]'slave[A]ry
Gan d[E]ance my liege man [A]lee
[A]Gan ring the bell o'l[E]iberty
shod[D] wi the [E]metal fr[A]ee

[VERSE 3]

He [A]won his spurs doon [E]by St.Bride
up[D]on the g[E]reen she f[A]ree
He [A]held the Leopard [E]and the tide
by the f[D]ield o[E]'Lintoun[A]ie
Gan [E]shine the shield yer [D]father bo[A]re
Gan s[E]trike yer metal f[A]ree
[A]Gan shine the helm yer f[E]ather wore
by the f[D]ield of T[E]orwood[A]lee

[VERSE 4]

he r[A]ode yin nicht when i[E]t was mirk
doon [D]by the l[E]eopards l[A]air
he [A]chased the tyrant [E]in his shirt
ar[D]ound the [E]field sae [A]fair
Gan [E]pack yer bags ye [D]English [A]loons
Gan t[E]ak yer banners h[A]ame
[A]Gan tak yer king wha s[E]ought oor croon
an[D]d lost the [E]bloody g[A]ame
