Bm D Em A
Bm D Em A
[Verso 1]
Em D
By the craigs through the fields
G A Asus4 A
To the sand and the seals
Em G D A
And the sky when its unco and grey
Em D
And the gold o' the crop
G A Asus4 A
As it greets the raindrop
Em G D A
Like a friend from far far away.
[Refrão]
D G A Asus4 A
Was the snow much whiter
D F# Bm D
Were the summers longer
G D A Asus4 A
And did the sun shine brighter
Bm G A
Or am I just getting older.

Em F#m
And the well beaten track
G A
Took us over and back
Em G A
Will the nest o' the donter be safe
Em F#m
And the starling will sing
G A
As the span o' her wing
Em G A
Takes her home tae her nest by the cave.
