GG2
Come gather in my lungs Scottish wind
DCGG2
Belt out your blackest poems as the sea around you sings
DCGG2
When the drone takes to the air a single note to raise my hair
DCG
Carry songs beyond my lungs cold Scottish winds
Riff (2x)GG2
Come fall upon my shoulders Scottish rain
DCGG2
And dissolve all of the worry that has hunched this back of mine
DCGG2
Let the hurt run down the drain to the reservoir And one day I'll add
DCG
a drop of my old worries to the dram
Riff (2x)GG2
Gather heavy in my lungs Scottish wind
DCGG2
All the fag smoke in the ether of the grouse that clips your wings
DCGG2
And I will cough just like my granddad and his grandpa before him
DCG
Oh blow youth into these lungs old Scottish wind.
Riff (2x)GG2
Come burl around my body Scottish blood
DCGG2
I'll try not to spill a drop, I'm sure you've spilled enough
DCGG2
And the English fucking rule will mean nothing to these towns
DCG
Run forever in my veins bold Scottish blood
Riff (2x)GG2
Bring a whisper to my mouth soft Scottish winds
DCGG2
Just enough to say I love you to the girl that keeps me sane
DCGG2
And take the stupid things I've said and blow them miles and miles away
DCG
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
DCG
Thank you in advance Scottish wind
End on:G
