 Bm   Bm    A4x
BmFife was a shadow across the Forth as the Granton boat pulled out
Over the sea and the solid earth the Amist lay all aBmbout
And a Grising wind from the DIsle of May o'er the Gruffled waters Astrode
And Bmblew us a clear October day to Aride on the Highland BmRoadG  G  C  
There's a Bmwinding road from Glenfarg to the mouth of the river Tay
The mountains beckon beyond Dunkeld to Alead us on our Bmway
Now GKillicrankie's Dfamous Pass, a Gbattle lost and Awon
BmFrom the old enchanted Atholl lands, grim Aheart of CaleBmdon
The DHighland Road's been sung before and Bmwill be sung again
As Glong as singers give Dthanks for good in the way of honest Amen
Let Ghim who will be contrary, the Dwise man will Aagree
And Bmsing again the Highland Road, the Highland Road for meBm  
Now the BmHighland Road is a rugged road, from the Tay to the Northern shore
A man may rise in Edinburgh town and Arest in AvieBmmore
Now Ghere's to the railroad Drunning north and the Gday that gave it Adue
From the Bmgreying spires of the ancient town to the Amoon of the Lairig BmGru
The DHighland Road's been sung before and Bmwill be sung again
As Glong as singers give Dthanks for good in the way of honest Amen
Let Ghim who will be contrary, the Dwise man will Aagree

Bm Bm A

Fife was a shadow across the Forth as the Granton boat pulled out

A Bm

Over the sea and the solid earth the mist lay all about

G D G A

And a rising wind from the Isle of May o'er the ruffled waters strode

Bm A Bm G G C

And blew us a clear October day to ride on the Highland Road

There's a winding road from Glenfarg to the mouth of the river Tay

A Bm

The mountains beckon beyond Dunkeld to lead us on our way

G D G A

Now Killicrankie's famous Pass, a battle lost and won

Bm A Bm

From the old enchanted Atholl lands, grim heart of Caledon

D Bm

The Highland Road's been sung before and will be sung again

G D A

As long as singers give thanks for good in the way of honest men

G D A

Let him who will be contrary, the wise man will agree

Bm Bm

And sing again the Highland Road, the Highland Road for me

Now the Highland Road is a rugged road, from the Tay to the Northern shore

A Bm

A man may rise in Edinburgh town and rest in Aviemore

G D G A

Now here's to the railroad running north and the day that gave it due

Bm A Bm

From the greying spires of the ancient town to the moon of the Lairig Gru

D Bm

The Highland Road's been sung before and will be sung again

G D A

As long as singers give thanks for good in the way of honest men

G D A

Let him who will be contrary, the wise man will agree

And sing again the Highland Road, the Highland Road for me
