There was a soldier,
A 
D 
a Scottish soldier
A 
Who wandered far away

And soldiered far away

There was none bolder

D 
With good broad shoulder
A 
He'd fought in many a fray
D 
And fought and won
A 
He'd seen the glory

Verse 2

He'd told the story
A 
D 
Of battles glorious and deeds victorious
But now he's sighing
A 
D 
His heart is crying
A

To leave those green hills of Tyrol
