[Intro]
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
[Chorus]
F Bb F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F Dm Bb C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F Bb F
To see her one more time before I die
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
[Verse 1]
F Bb F
Where wide the Murrumbidgee flows, the stately gum and wattle grows
F Dm Bb C
And deep within the forests tall the laughing kookaburras call
F Bb F
Across the miles and down the years I dream my eyes too old for tears
F Dm Bb C
Of other scenes more fair than these, and chase a heather scented breeze
Bb F
Across the hills of home
[Chorus]
F Bb F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F Dm Bb C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F Bb F
To see her one more time before I die
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
[Instrumental]
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
[Verse 2]
F Bb F
And when the mists of evening rise to hide the starlight in the skies
F Dm Bb C
My heart with longing sadness fills to see again those Scottish hills
F Bb F
Once more as in my boyhood days I roam the bracken-covered braes
F Dm Bb C
And hear them singing in the glen "Oh, will ye no' come back again
Bb F
Across the hills of home?"
[Chorus]
F Bb F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F Dm Bb C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F Bb F
To see her one more time before I die
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
F Bb F
Fast flows the river, faster still the days of youth that never will
F Dm Bb C
Return - now only dreams remain, of purple hills and fields of grain
F Bb F
But still I hear across the miles the haunting call of misty isles
F Dm Bb C
Above the tidal waters roar but I know that I shall go no more
Bb F
Across the hills of home
[Chorus x 3]
F Bb F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F Dm Bb C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F Bb F
To see her one more time before I die
F F/E Dm C Bb C F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
