[Verse 1]

                    C                     F            C
There's lilt in the song I sing, there's laughter and love
                    G7                         C
There's tang of the sea and blue from heaven above
                            F                C     F  G
Of reason there's none and why should there be forbye--
    F               C                       F           G
As long as there's fire in the blood and a light in the eye


[Chorus]

               C         F            C
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay

Fol lee fal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay


[Verse 2]

                 C                   F          C
The heather’s ablaze with bloom the myrtle is sweet
                    G7                             C
There’s song in the air, the road’s a song at our feet
                     F          C           F  G
So step it along as light as a bird on the wing
    F              C                  F           G
And while we are stepping we join our voices and sing


[Chorus]

               C         F            C
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
               G7                     C
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
                  F       C          F  G
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
    F        C         F           G
Fol lee fal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay


[Verse 3]

                  C                 F         C
And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no
                 G7                    C
And whether the skin be white or black as a sloe
                         F          C           F  G
Of kith and of kin where one be as right be as wrong
   F            C               F         G
As long as our voices join the chorus of song


[Chorus]

               C         F            C
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
               G7                     C
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
                  F       C          F  G
Ar fol lol lal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
    F        C         F           G
Fol lee fal lo-ro, Ar fol lol lal lay
