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 freedom 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 the sun can e'er clear
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
