[Verse 1]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
The old days have gone that had use for a man
G A Asus4 A
Who supported his laird-ship, protectin' his land.
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
Who in times of unrest, would have died for his lord
G A Asus4 A G
Now the soldiers of England have taken his broad sword.
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
And there's fire in the glen, fire in the glen!
G A Asus4 A G
But no fire in the eyes of our Highland men...
[Verse 2]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
And the laird has a smile for the makers of graves
G A Asus4 A
For the builders of empires and the keepers of slaves
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
For he kept his great home losing nothing but pride
G A Asus4 A G
Though his kinsmen lay huddled along the shore-side...
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
And there's fire in the glen, fire in the glen!
G A Asus4 A G
But no fire in the eyes of our Highland men...
[Verse 3]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
So beware of their banners and the general's lies
G A Asus4 A
There's no glory for the poor man, no glittering prize
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
For we gave all we had, now our homes they fall down
G A Asus4 A G
And I cry out "Republic!" and allegiance to no crown.
D Dmaj7
For there's fire in the glen
[Verse 4]
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
The old days have gone that had use for a man
G A Asus4 A
Who supported his laird-ship, protecting his land
D Dmaj7 Bsus2 Fm
Who in times of unrest, he would have dies for his lord
G A Asus4 A G
Now the soldiers of England have taken his broad sword
[Chorus 2]
Em Fm Bsus2 Fm
And there's fire in the glen, fire in the glen

But no fire in the eyes of our Highland men
Em Fm Bsus2 Fm
And there's fire in the glen, fire in the glen
G A Asus4 A G
But no fire in the eyes of our Highland men
