   1   -2  -3  -2  -3   3  -2  3  
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
-3  -2 -2   -3    4   -5
and never brought to mind?
  -5    4  -3  -3  -2   3  -2  3  
Should old acquaintance be forgot, 
-3  -2   -1  -1   1    -2  
and days of Auld Lang Syne?

CHORUS:
-5   4 -3 -3 -2  3    -2  3
For, Auld Lang- Syne, my dear,
-5   4 -3 -3 4  -5
for, Auld Lang Syne
 -6    5  -3 -3  -2   3  -2   3
we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
-3 3 -2 -1 -1 1  -2
for- Auld- Lang Syne.

 1  -2  -3   -2   -3   3    -2   3
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup!
-3  -2 -2   -3   4   -5
And surely I’ll buy mine!
 -5    4  -3 -3  -2   3  -2  3
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
-3   -2  -1  -1   1    -2  
for days of Auld Lang Syne.

CHORUS

 1 -2   -3  -2  -3 3  -2    3
We two have run about the hills,
-3    -2   -2   -3  4   -5
and pulled the daisies fine;
  -5    4  -3   -3 -2  3 -2  3
We’ve wandered many a weary foot,
 -3    -2  -1  -1   1    -2  
since days of Auld Lang Syne.

CHORUS

1  -2   -3   -2 -3  3  -2    3
We two have paddled in the stream,
 -3   -2 -2   -3  4   -5
from morning sun till dine;
-5   4    -3 -3  -2   3   -2     3
But seas between us broad have roared
 -3    -2  -1  -1   1    -2  
since days of Auld Lang Syne.

CHORUS

 1    -2   -3  -2  -3  3 -2    3
And there’s a hand my trusty friend!
 -3  -2 -2  -3  4   -5
Give us a- hand o’ thine!
-5    4    -3 -3  -2    3    -2     3
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
-3   -2  -1  -1   1    -2  
for days of Auld Lang Syne.

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