Verse 1
C
There was a soldier a Scottish soldier
G C
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
There was none bolder with good broad shoulder
G C
He's fought in many a fray and fought and won
He'd seen the glory and told the story
G C
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
But now he's sighing his heart is crying
G C
To leave these green hills of Tyrol
Chorus
C F C
Because these green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C F C G C
They are not the hills of home
Verse 2
C
And now this soldier this Scottish soldier
G C
Who wandered far away and soldiered far away
Sees leaves are falling and death is calling
G C
And he will fade away in that far land
D
He called his piper his trusty piper
G C
And bade him sound a lay a pibroch sad to play
Upon a hill-side a Scottish hillside
G C
Not on these green hills of Tyrol
Chorus
C F C
Because these green hills are not highland hills
G C
Or the island hills they're not my land's hills
F C
And fair as these green foreign hills may be
G C F C G C
They are not the hills of home
