Key of C

 4    4   -4    5   4   5    6
Hark when the night is fall-ing
 7     5   -4   4    6  5    4       
Hear! Hear the pipes a call-ing
 -5  -6 -5    5   6   -5   5
Loud-ly and proud-ly call-ing
 -4   -4    5   -4
Down thro' the glen.
 7   5   -4   4    6  5    4
Now feel the blood a-leep-ing
 -5  -6 -5   5   6   5   4  -4   4    -3  4
High as the spi-rits of the old High-land men.

CHORUS
 -4   -4  -4  -4  -3   -2
Tower-ing in gal-lant fame,
 4    5   -4  4    3    2
Scot-land my moun-tain hame,
 -5  -6   -5   5     6     6    5  -4  4  5
High may your proud stand-ards glo-ri-ous-ly 
 -4
wave,
 4   4  -4  5   4   5    6 
Land of my high en-deav-our,
 7   5  -4   4    6   5  4 
Land of the shin-ing riv-er,
 -5  -6 -5   5    6  5  4
Land of my heart for-ev-er,
 -4   4   -3   4
Scot-land the brave.

High in the misty Highlands
Out by the purple islands
Brave are the hearts that beat
Beneath Scottish skies
Wild are the winds to meet you
Staunch are the friends that greet you
Kind as the love that shines from fair maidens eyes

CHORUS

Far off in sunlit places
Sad are the Scottish faces
Yearning to feel the kiss
Of sweet Scottish rain
Where tropic skies are beaming
Love sets the heart a-dreaming
Longing and dreaming for the homeland again

CHORUS




























Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
