D xx0232

[Intro]
N.C.
The Field of Bannockburn outside Sterling is the testing ground, and 18 years

of wrangling
N.C.
over Scotland's sovereignty is about to be settled. It is mid-summer's eve

1314,
N.C.
King Edward II has brought his enourmous English army against a Scottish

force of about 5,000 men.
N.C.
And with the ignominious traitor's death of the patriot William Wallace fresh

in their minds,
N.C.
the Scots are in no doubt as to what capture and defeat will mean today. This

already stated,
N.C.
King Robert the Bruce leads his vastly outnumbered Scottish army forward to

the field,
N.C.
and into legend and song...

[Verse 1]
Em Bm
’Twas on that fateful summer's day
G D
The English'd come in grand array
Em Bm
King Edward's order tae obey
G D Em
Upon the Field of Bannockburn
Em Bm
Sae loudly let the war drum wake
G D
Each loyal Scot from hill and lake
Em Bm
And boldly fight for freedom’s sake
G D Em
Upon the Field o' Bannockburn
