Homeland (Duthaich Mo Chridhe) chords by Dougie MacLean
Verse 1
Asus4
A
G
Asus4
A
G
You're a
A
G
A
G
A
stranger to
these hills
G
And you've come up
A
Am
here to end your days
F
C
And you love our running rivers
G
And you love our quaint
little highland ways
A
G
A
You sold your house in the city
D
and you put it on the market
A
and you did so good
Am
F
Now you've bought yourself
C
a little piece of something
G
that you don't understand and
you've misunderstood
Am
F
But I'll tell you about the
G
D
Am
land that you lay on,
F
G
what you've gained is our ultimate loss
D
Am
F
I'll tell you about
G
the soil you decay on
Am
I'll hold it up and treat
Dm
Am
it like a fine rose
A
Asus4
A
Oh, you love the view
from your window
And you'd go out more,
Am
but it always rains
You don't think much of
the music or the tears
Asus4
A
In the old man's sacred brains
Am
A
You bought yourself miles of tartan
And you wear it round your middle
And you wear it on your head
Am
You stand there, a proud believer
A
In a vision of the truth
Asus4
Am
That's long gone dead
F
But I'll tell you about the
G
D
land that you play on
G
Am
What you've gained
F
G
is our ultimate loss
D
Am
F
I'll tell you about
G
D
the soil you decay on
Am
Hold it up to you like the
D
Am
Dm
fire across
Am
F
C
Once these glens were full of people,
and the songs and stories of
Dm
Am
their fathers were old.
Dm
And there was peace and plenty,
F
and a horn of whiskey
Dm
Am
when the weather grew cold.
F
Then along came the great improvers,
C
and they cleaned it up like only
Dm
imperials could.
Am
They lined them up for transportation
Dm
to the land of the brave,
F
G
the free, and the good.
Am
A
To look to the south,
Am
I tell you that the black man
has it cruel and hard
F
Am
But we don't need to look any further
G
than the rumble of stones
in our own backyard
Am
A
And oh, sad the day
Am
and all that's left are a fading few
F
Yes, sir, you may have
Am
paid good money for it
G
Am
But no, it'll never belong to you
F
G
I'll tell you about the land
D
that you play on
Am
F
G
What you've gained is our ultimate loss
D
Am
I'll tell you about the
G
D
soil you decay on
Am
Hold it up until you have the final loss
F
G
I'll tell you about the land
D
that you play on
Am
F
What you've gained is
G
our ultimate loss
Am
G
I'll tell you about the song
you took care of
Am
Hold it up to me like the fire you call
You
