McPherson's Rant off of the Album Clash of the Tartans by the Real Mckenzies These chords are 100% correct. With standard tuning you can play along with the song on album, which is what I did to get this right. (the chord in the first verse/chorus repeat through the entire song. G D Farewell ye dungeons, dark & strong G C This wretches destiny G F MacPherson's day will nae be long G C G D Allow the gallows tree [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/r/real-mckenzies/93668.html ] (Chorus) G D Say rauntingly, say wantonly G C And undauntedly ga'ed he G F And he played a spring and danced it 'round G C G D Allow the gallows tree Well I've lived me a life of stearf and strife On mony a bloody battle plain But it breaks my heart I must depart And nae avenged I be So take these bands frae aff me hands And bring to me my sword For there nae be a man in all the land I'll brave him at one word So farewell light and me sun shine bright And all benath the Highland skies MacPherson's name will nae distaine The wretch who will nae die |
