Biography:
Capercaillie is a folk band founded in Oban, Scotland in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. They recorded their first album, Cascade, in 1984. Their 1992 EP Coisich, a Rùin was the first ever Scottish Gaelic language record to reach the UK Top 40 singles chart. They have also pioneered the integration of divergent styles, including some electronics and African rhythms, into their music, though it is still primarily Scottish folk music.

Capercaillie - Both Sides The Tweed
[Intro]
Am G F C G Am
[Verse 1]
C F
What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose?
C Am G
What's the summer with all its gay train?
Am C F
What's the splendour of autumn to those
C G Am
Who've bartered their freedoms for gain?
[Chorus]
F C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
Am G
To the love of our people succeed
Am Em F
Let friendship and honour unite
C G Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed
[Verse 2]
C F
No sweetness the senses can achieve
C Am G
Which corruption and bribery bind
Am C F
No brightness that gloom can e'er gleam
C G Am
For honour's the sum of the mind

Let the love of our land's sacred right

Let virtue distinguish the brave
C Am G
Place riches in lowest degree

Think them poorest who can be a slave

Them richest who dare to be free
[Chorus]

Let the love of our land's sacred right
