These Are My Mountains
Alexander Brothers
[Verse]
G C G
For fame and for fortune I wandered the earth
C G D
And now I've come back to the land of my birth
G G7 C
I've brought back my treasures but only to find
G D G
They're less than the pleasures I first left behind
[Chorus]
G C G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
C G D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
G G7 C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
G D G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home
[Verse]
G C G
The burn by the road sings at my going by
C G D
The whaup averhead wings with welcoming cry
G G7 C
The loch where the scart flies at last I can see
G D G
It's here that my heart lies it's here I'll be free
[Chorus]
G C G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
C G D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
G G7 C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
G D G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home
[Verse]
G C G
Kind faces will meet me and welcome me in
C G D
And how they will greet me my ain kith and kin
G G7 C
The night round the ingle old sangs will be sung
G D G
At last I'll be hearing my ain mother tongue.
[Chorus]
G C G
For these are my mountains and this is my glen
C G D
The braes of my childhood will know me again
G G7 C
No land's ever claimed me tho' far I did roam
G D G
For these are my mountains and I'm going home
