Intro: Am Em G Am
Verse:
Am Em
Cha b' e sneachda 'san reòthadh bho thuath
G Em Am
Cha b'e crannadh geur fuar bho'n ear
D Am
Cha b'e uisge 'san gailleon bho'n iar
D Am
Ach an galair a blen bho'n deas
G Em G
Blàth, duilleach stoc agus freumh
Em Am
Cànan mo threubh 's mo shluaidh.
Chorus:
Am G
Thig thugainn, thig co-rium gu siar
Em G Am
Gus an cluinn sinn ann cànan nam Féinn
G
Thig thugainn, thig co-rium gu siar
Em G Am
Gus an cluinn sinn ann cànan nan Gàidheal
Verse:
Am Em
S iomadh gille thug greis air a' chuibhl'
G Em Am
S an dubh-oidhche thog fonn Gàidhlig a' chridh
D Am
S iomadh gaisgeach a' bhrosnaich 'sa bhlàir
D Am
Gu euchd nuair bu teòtha bha'n strì
G Em G
O Ghàidheil! O caite n deach d'uaill
Em Am
Nad Chìne 's nad chànan 's do thir?
Chorus
