      Capercaillie - Both Sides The Tweed

[Intro]
Am  G  F    C  G  Am

[Verse 1]
                            C           F
What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose?
           C           Am          G
What's the summer with all its gay train?
           Am           C         F
What's the splendour of autumn to those
       C              G            Am
Who've bartered their freedoms for gain?

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G
To the love of our people succeed
    Am             Em      F
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

[Verse 2]
                 C           F
No sweetness the senses can achieve
         C           Am      G
Which corruption and bribery bind
   Am              C              F
No brightness that gloom can e'er gleam
    C            G          Am
For honour's the sum of the mind

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G
To the love of our people succeed
    Am             Em      F
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

[Verse 3]
              C            F
Let virtue distinguish the brave
      C         Am       G
Place riches in lowest degree
           Am          C        F
Think them poorest who can be a slave
     C           G       Am
Them richest who dare to be free

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G
To the love of our people succeed
    Am             Em      F
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

[Interlude]
Am  G  F    C  G  Am

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G
To the love of our people succeed
    Am             Em      F
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed
