Homeland
Dougie Maclean
Dm
Most, if not all, of Dougie's songs are played in open tunings on the guitar. I have transcribed this, along with a few more of his songs, in standard tuning to allow for easier learning.
Intro
A7sus4 A A7sus4 A x2
Verse
A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You're a stranger to these hills and you've come up here to end your days F C G And you love our running rivers and you love our quaint little Highland ways A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You sold your house in the city - you put it on the market and you did so good F C G Now you've bought a little piece of something that you don't understand and you've misunderstood
Chorus
Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play on Am F G What you've gained is our ultimate loss Am F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay on Am F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross
Verse
A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You love the view from your window and you'd go out more but it always rains F C G You don't think much of the music or the tears in the old man's sad refrains A7sus4 A A7sus4 A You've bought yourself miles of tartan and you wear it round your middle and you wear it on your head F C G You stand there a proud believer in a vision of the truth that's long gone dead
Chorus
Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play on Am F G What you've gained is our ultimate loss Am F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay on Am F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross
Bridge
(SPOKEN VOICEOVER - Chord places as suggestion if you wish to sing this verse) Dm Am Dm Am Once these glens were full of people and the songs and stories of their fathers of old Dm Am Dm F And there was peace and plenty and a horn of whiskey when the weather grew cold Dm Am Dm Am Then along came the great improvers and they cleaned it up like only imperials could Dm Am Dm F They lined them up for transportation to the land of the brave and the free and the good
Verse
A7sus4 A A7sus4 A Look to the south I tell you that the black man has it cruel and hard F C G But you don't have to look any further that the rumble of stones in our own backyard A7sus4 A A7sus4 A And Oh sad the day and all that's left are a fading few F C G Yes Sir you may have paid good money for it but no it'll never be-long to you
Chorus
Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play on Am F G What you've gained is our ultimate loss Am F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay on Am F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross Am F G But I'll tell you about the land that you play on Am F G What you've gained is our ultimate loss Am F G I'll tell you about the soil you decay on Am F Am I'll hold it up to you like the Fiery Cross
