Both Sides The Tweed

Dick Gaughan


           Dm               F       Bb  Gm
What's the Spring breathing jasmine and rose?
           F                   Am  C
What's the Summer with all its gay train?
       Dm          F      Bb Gm
Or the splendor of Autumn to those
    F              C           Dm
Who bartered their freedom for gain?

Chorus:
        Bb          F             Am
Let the love of our land's sacred right,
       Dm          Am        C
To the love of our people succeed.
    Dm             F     Bb Gm
Let friendship and honor u--nite,
    F           C              Dm
And flourish on both sides the tweed.

Instrumental break

Let virtue distinguish the brave,
Place riches in lowest degree,
Think them poorest who can be a slave,
Them richest who dare to be free.

Chorus

Let friendship and honor unite,
And flourish on both sides the tweed.
