A Scottish Soldier(Chords)

	        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 

 
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 

 
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 3 
            C 
And so this soldier this Scottish soldier 
            G                       C 
Will wander far no more and soldier far no more 
              
And on a hillside a Scottish hillside 
                G                      C 
You'll see that piper play his soldier home 
                   
He's seen the glory he's told the story 
           G                  C 
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious 
                  
The bugles cease now he is at peace now 
               G                C 
Far from those green hills of Tyrol 

 
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    
They are not the hills of home 
 
C              F                   C 
Although those 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      
They are not the hills of home 

C     F                   C 
Those 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
