Em G D
Come all ye young lassies whar hae ye been
G Em
Sae sleepy and drowsy, I ken by your een
Em C G
In all the wide world, you'll ne'er find a frien'
C G D G
Like the lads that were reared among heather
[Chorus]
G C G
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
G C G Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
Em C G
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall
C G D G
Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
[Verse 1]
Em G D
Tak' a walk roon yer cities, braw buildings ootside
G Em
Gaze on the splendors and the wonder with pride
Em C G
Fine ships have been built, on the banks o' the Clyde
C G D G
By the lads that were reared among heather
[Chorus]
G C G
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
G C G Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls

Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
[Verse 2]
Em G D
When the queen wants some soldiers, she kens whaur to send
G Em
To the mountains and valleys, the hills and the glens
Em C G
Wi' their bonnets and plaids, they're aye true tae the end
C G D G
Are the lads that were reared among heather
[Chorus]

Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
G C G Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
Em C G
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall

Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
[Verse 3]
Em G D
Now England can boast for the sweet-scented rose
G Em
And Ireland can boast for the shamrock she grows
Em C G
But gi' me the land, where the clear water flows
C G D G
And the mountains are covered with heather
[Chorus]
G C G
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
G C G Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
Em C G
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall
C G D G
Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
[Outro]
G C G
Awa' wi' yer satins, yer silks and yer shawls
G C G Em
Yer soirees and yer parties and yer elegant balls
Em C G
For a dance in the barn's worth ten in the hall
C G D G
Wi' the lads that were reared among heather
