D                    G     D
Grief and pain are all I know
                       G      A
My heart is sore, My tears a'flow
        D              G        D
Since o'er the seas we saw him go
    G      Bm      Em       A 
No word we know to ease our woe
(Chorus)

D              G        D
A proud and gallant chevalier
                     G     A
A highland lion of gentle mien
          D      G        D
A fiery blade engaged to reap
      G           Bm   Em      A
He'd break the bravest in the field
(Chorus)

  D                      G           D
Come sing his praise as sweet harps play
                        G     A
And proudly toast his noble name
            D           G        D
As long as blood flows in your veins
   G          Bm          Em       A
So wish him strength and length of day               (Chorus)
