Em C G

Fareweel to a' our Scottish fame,

Am D C Em

Fareweel our ancient glory

Em C G

Fareweel ev'n to the Scottish name,

Am D C Em

Sae famed in martial story

G Em C G

Now Sark rins over Solway sands

G D C Em

An Tweed rins to the ocean

G Em C G

To mark where England's province stands -

G D C Em

Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!

Em C G

What force or guile could not subdue

Am D C Em

Through many warlike ages

Em C G

Is wrought now by a coward few

Am D C G

For hireling traitor's wages

G Em C G

The English steel we could disdain

G D C Em

Secure in valour's station

G Em C G

But English gold has been our bane -

G D C Em

Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!

Em C G

O would, or I had seen the day

Am D C Em

That Treason thus could sell us,

Em C G

My auld grey head had lien in clay

Am D C G

Wi Bruce and loyal Wallace!

G Em C G

But pith and power, till my last hour

G D C Em

I'll mak this declaration

G Em C G

We're bought and sold for English gold -

G D C Em

Sic a parcel o rogues in a nation!
