G G2
Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind
D C G G2
Belt out your blackest poems as the sea around you sings
D C G G2
When the drone takes to the air a single note to raise my hair
D C G
Carry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish winds
Riff (2x)
G G2
Come fall upon my shoulders Scottish rain
D C G G2
And dissolve all of the worry that has hunched this back of mine
D C G G2
Let the hurt run down the drain to the reservoir And one day I'll add
D C G
a drop of my old worries to the dram
Riff (2x)
G G2
Gather heavy in my lungs Scottish wind
D C G G2
All the fag smoke in the ether of the grouse that clips your wings
D C G G2
And I will cough just like my granddad and his grandpa before him
D C G
Oh blow youth into these lungs old Scottish wind.
Riff (2x)
G G2
Come burl around my body Scottish blood
D C G G2
I'll try not to spill a drop, I'm sure you've spilled enough
D C G G2
And the English fucking rule will mean nothing to these towns
D C G
Run forever in my veins bold Scottish blood
Riff (2x)
G G2
Bring a whisper to my mouth soft Scottish winds
D C G G2
Just enough to say I love you to the girl that keeps me sane
D C G G2
And take the stupid things I've said and blow them miles and miles away
D C G
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
D C G
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
End on: G
