Across The Hills Of Home

F F/E Dm C Bb C F


[Chorus]

F                         Bb            F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F           Dm          Bb          C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F                        Bb       F
To see her one more time before I die
F   F/E      Dm      C    Bb   C        F
You take the low road and I'll take the high


[Verse 1]
F                                  Bb                  F
Where wide the Murrumbidgee flows, the stately gum and wattle grows
F                   Dm               Bb            C
And deep within the forests tall the laughing kookaburras call
F                                   Bb                  F
Across the miles and down the years I dream my eyes too old for tears
F                    Dm               Bb                  C
Of other scenes more fair than these, and chase a heather scented breeze
Bb                  F
Across the hills of home


[Chorus]

F                         Bb            F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F           Dm          Bb          C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F                        Bb       F
To see her one more time before I die
F   F/E      Dm      C    Bb   C        F
You take the low road and I'll take the high

[Verse 2]
F                                  Bb                    F
And when the mists of evening rise to hide the starlight in the skies
F                     Dm            Bb                 C
My heart with longing sadness fills to see again those Scottish hills
F                               Bb                 F
Once more as in my boyhood days I roam the bracken-covered braes
F                     Dm          Bb                    C
And hear them singing in the glen "Oh, will ye no' come back again
Bb                  F
Across the hills of home?"


[Chorus]

F                         Bb            F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F           Dm          Bb          C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F                        Bb       F
To see her one more time before I die
F   F/E      Dm      C    Bb   C        F
You take the low road and I'll take the high

[Verse 3]
F                                  Bb                     F
Fast flows the river, faster still the days of youth that never will
F                 Dm             Bb                  C
Return - now only dreams remain, of purple hills and fields of grain
F                                 Bb                   F
But still I hear across the miles the haunting call of misty isles
F                      Dm         Bb                C
Above the tidal waters roar but I know that I shall go no more
Bb                  F
Across the hills of home


[Chorus x 3]

F                         Bb            F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
F           Dm          Bb          C
And back to Scotland my spirit will fly
F                        Bb       F
To see her one more time before I die
F   F/E      Dm      C    Bb   C        F
You take the low road and I'll take the high
