CAPO: 5th Fret



[Intro]


[Chorus]
N.C.
Here's tae the Black Watch, the bold kilted lads

That's newly cam hame frae the war
N.C.
We'll gie them a healthy cheer an' drink a bump o' beer

For the boys o' the gallant Forty-Twa


[Verse 1]
G                     F                 C
Noo I am a sodger, my name, it's Willie Broon
      G                             F                C
An' I used tae be a weavin' lad an' lived in Maxwell toon
    G          F              D         G     F
But noo I am enlisted an' tae Perth I'm gane awa'
    G                              F             C
Tae join the gallant regiment, the gallant Forty-Twa


[Chorus]

Here's tae the Black Watch, the bold kilted lads
       Dm7                     Em
That's newly cam hame frae the war
      F          C                 F               C
We'll gie them a healthy cheer an' drink a bump o' beer
        F                         C       F
For the boys o' the gallant Forty-Twa


[Verse 2]
    G                                    F            C
The first time I went oot on drill wi' a lot o' raw recruits
    G                             F             C
The Sergeant Major chapped me for lookin' at my boots
   G                F                   D           G     F
He tapped me on the shoulder, he said, "Jock, ye'll gang awa'
          G                                  F             C
For ye're sure tae make an awfu' mess o' the gallant Forty-Twa"


[Verse 3]
    G                      F          C
An' when the bugle sounded for dinner time
      G                                   F          C
I wis first man at the table, I wis first man in the line
    G                F        D        G          F
The Sergeant cam tae call the roll, an officer an a'
       G                             F             C
An' he pointed oot the billie o' the gallant Forty-Twa


[Chorus]

Here's tae the Black Watch, the bold kilted lads
       Dm7                     Em
That's newly cam hame frae the war
      F          C                 F               C
We'll gie them a healthy cheer an' drink a bump o' beer
        F                         C       F
For the boys o' the gallant Forty-Twa


[Verse 4]
    G                            F             C
An' when I gang on furlough, tae Dundee I will gang
    G                                F      C
An' I will teach my comrades how tae fire a gun
     G               F                 D         G         F
I'll tak them in an' stand a drink an' then I'll start tae blaw
    G                                    F             C
An' then they'll see I'm Corporal in the gallant Forty-Twa


[Chorus]

Here's tae the Black Watch, the bold kilted lads
       Dm7                     Em
That's newly cam hame frae the war
      F          C                 F               C
We'll gie them a healthy cheer an' drink a bump o' beer
        F                         C       F
For the boys o' the gallant Forty-Twa
    F          C                 F               C

For the boys o' the gallant Forty-Twa
