Am                               Em
The man that should our king hae been
   G
He wore the Royal red and green
  C        D      G    Am7
A bonnier lad ye never seen
     C               D
Than our young Royal Charlie

Am                          Em
When Charlie in the heilan' sheil
   G
Forgethered wi' the Great Lochiel
   C      D        G      Am7
Oh sic' a kindness did prevail
  C                  D
'Tween the Chief and Charlie

[Chorus]

 G                      C
Charlie's been too long awa'
        G                            C
And the eagle waits for the bugle's call
         G             C       D
But the spirit shines above us all
         G      C        D    G
For the right belongs to Charlie

[Verse 2]

Am                    Em
At Falkirk and Prestonpans
 G
Supported by the heilan' clans
   C        D    G     Am7
He brak the Hanoverian bands
    C                D
Did our young royal Charlie

       Am                     Em
But we darenae brew a peck o' malt
    G
But Geordie he maun ca't a fault
    C       D       G          Am7
And for our kale we scarce get salt
    C              D
For want of Royal Charlie

[Chorus]

 G                      C
Charlie's been too long awa'
        G                            C
And the eagle waits for the bugle's call
         G             C       D
But the spirit shines above us all
         G      C        D    G
For the right belongs to Charlie

[Verse 3]

 Am                    Em
Noo our Charlie's gone awa'
   G
A doited German rules us all
    C      D      G          Am7
And we are forced against the law
    C              D
For want of Royal Charlie

    Am                       Em
So Charlie come and lead the way
     G
For others here now hold the sway
    C     D        G        Am7
But every dog maun hae it's day
    C             D
So welcome Royal Charlie

[Chorus]

 G                      C
Charlie's been too long awa'
        G                            C
And the eagle waits for the bugle's call
         G             C       D
But the spirit shines above us all
         G      C        D    G
For the right belongs to Charlie
