Verse 1
(C major) You may talk about your Lancers
or the Irish Fusiliers,
The Ab (F major) erdeen Militia
or (C major) the (G major) Dublin Volunteers,
Or (F major) any other regiment
that's (G major) flying far (C major) away,
Come give to me the tartan
of the (G major) gallon forty -two.
(C major) Strolling through the green field
(F major) on a summer day, (C major)
Watching all the country girls
(G major) forking up the hay,
I (F major) really was delighted,
(C major) but he stole (G major) my heart awhile
(C major) He left me for the tartan
of the gal (G major) lon forty -t (C major) wa
Oh, I never shall forget
the day his regiment marched past
The (F major) pipes they played a lively tun (C major) e,
but my heart (G major) was aghast
He (F major) turned around and smiled farewell,
and (G major) then from far (C major) awhile
I heard the drums and peeper -ups
of the (G major) gallon forty (C major) -t wa
Strolling through the green field
(F major) on a summer day
(C major) Watching all the country girls
(G major) forking up the hay
I (F major) really was delighted
but (C major) he stole (G major) my heart awhile
(C major) He left me for the tartan
of the gal (G major) lon forty -two (C major)
Once again I heard the music
of the people up from afar
The (F major) trump, trump, trump
weary men
return (G major) ing from the war
And (A minor) as they (F major) nearer drew
I brushed the (G major) woeful tear (C major) awhile
For me and my brawladdy
of the gal (G major) lon forty -t (C major) wa
Strollin' through the green field
(F major) on a summer day (C major)
Watchin' all the country girls
(G major) workin' up the hay
I (F major) really was delighted
(C major) but he stole (G major) my heart awhile
(C major) He left me for the tartan
of the (G major) gallon forty -t (C major) wa
