Chorus

(G)When I die, (C)bury me (G)low

Where I can hear the (D7)bonny Tweed (D)flow;

A (Em)sweeter place I (C)never did know,

Than the (G)rolling hills of the (D7)bor(G)ders. -G-G

(G)I have travelled (C)far and (G)wide,

Seen the Hudson (D7)and the (D)Clyde,

I've (Em)courted by Loch (C)Lomond's side,

But I (G)dearly love the (D7)bor(G)ders. -G-G

Chorus

G-G-D7-G-D7

It’s (G)well that I can (C)mind the (G)day,

With my lass I (D7)strolled by the (D)Tay,

But (Em)all his beauty (C)fades away,

A(G)mong the hills of the (D7)bor(G)ders. -G-G

Chorus

G-G-D7-G-D7

(G)There's a certain (C)peace of (G)mind

Bonnie lassies (D7)there you'll (D)find

The (Em)men are hard but (C)yet so kind,

A(G)mong the hills of the (D7)bor(G)ders. -G-G

Chorus 2x
