Both Sides The Tweed

Am  C  F  Dm7  C  Am  G  Em
Am  C  F  Dm7  C  G  D  Am

[Verse]
                            C           F     Dm7
What's the spring breathing jasmine and rose?
           C           Am         G       Em
What's the summer with all its gay train?
       Am           C         F     Dm7
Or the splendour of autumn to those
       C              G            Am
Who've bartered their freedoms for gain?

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G    Em
To the love of our people succeed
    Am                     F    Dm7
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

[Verse]
                 C           F      Dm7
No sweetness the senses can achieve
         C           Am      G     Em
Which corruption and bribery bind
   Am              C              F     Dm7
No brightness that gloom can e'er gleam
    C            G     Am
For honour's the sum of the mind

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G    Em
To the love of our people succeed
    Am                     F    Dm7
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed

[Verse]
              C            F     Dm7
Let virtue distinguish the brave
      C         Am       G     Em
Place riches in lowest degree
           Am          C        F     Dm7
Think them poorest who can be a slave
     C           G      Am
Them richest who dare to be free

[Chorus]
        F                         C
Let the love of our land's sacred right
       Am                    G    Em
To the love of our people succeed
    Am                     F    Dm7
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G         Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed
                           F    Dm7
Let friendship and honour unite
    C           G              Am
And flourish on both sides the Tweed
