Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

Not usually played with the capo, but I find it best on the 1st or 2nd

[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
G C Dm
Tell me what was on yer road, ye roarin Norland wind?
G Em C Dm
As ye come blawin frae the land that's never frae ma mind
G Em C Dm
Ma feet, they've travelled England, but I'm deein for the north
C G
"Ma man, I saw the siller tides run up the Firth o' Forth"

[Verse 2]
G Em C Dm
Wind, I ken them weel eneuch, and fine they fa' and rise
G Em C Dm
And frae the fields the creepin mist on yonder shore that lies
G Em C Dm
But tell me as ye passed them by, what saw ye on your way?
C G
"Ma man, I rouch the rovin gulls that sail abin the Tay"

[Verse 3]
G Em C Dm
But saw ye nothing, leeing wind, afore you cam tae Fife?
G Em C Dm
For there's muckle lyin yond the Tay that's mair tae me than life
G Em C Dm
"Aye man, I swept the Angus braes ye havnae trod for years"
G Em C Dm
Oh wind, whur gae a hameless loon that canna see for tears?

[Verse 4]
G Em C Dm
"And far above the Angus straths I saw the wild geese flee
G Em C Dm
A lang, lang skean o' beatin' wings wi their heids towards the sea
G Em C Dm
And aye their cryin voices trailed ahint them on the air"
G Em C Dm
Oh wind, hae mercy, haud your wheesht, for I daurna listen mair.
