The Corries – Welcome Royal Charlie (Guitar)

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

 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

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

 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

 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

 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
