The Proclaimers - Scotland’s story (orig. = capo 2nd)
D G A
Michael McGrory from west Donegal,
D A D
you came to Glasgow with nothing at all.
D G A
You fought the landlord, then the Africa Korps,
D A D
when you came to Glasgow with nothing at all.
D G A
Abraham Caplan from Vilnius, you came,
D A D
you were heading for New York, but Leith's where stayed.
D G A
You built a great business which benefits all,
D A D
since you came to this land with nothing at all.
G D
In Scotland's story I read that they came,
A D
the Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane.
G A
But so did the Irishman, Jew and Ukraine,
D A D
they're all Scotland's Story and they're all worth the same.
D G A
Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days,
D A D
when Italian kids in the Grassmarket play.
D G A
We burned out his shop, when the boys went to war,
D A D
but auld Joe's a big man and he forgave all.
G D
In Scotland's story I am told that they came,
A D
the Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane.
G A
But where's all the Chinese and Indian names?
D A D
They're in my land’s story and they're all worth the same.
D G A
Christina McKay, I learned of your name,
D A D
how you travelled south from Delny one day.
D G A
You raised a whole family in one room they say,
D A D
and the “X” on the line stands in place of your name.
G D
So in the old story I'll bet that I came
A D
from Gael and Pict and Angle and Dane.
G A
And a poor migrant girl who could not write her name,
D A D - D7
it's a common old story, but it's mine just the same.
G D
All through the story the immigrants came,
A D
the Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane.
G A
From Pakistan, England and from the Ukraine,
D A D
we're all Scotland's story and we're all worth the same.
D A G - D
Your Scotland's story is worth just the same.
