Dunvegans Drums

     Em               G
When Dunvegan's Drums beat in the air
       C                      Em
At the first of the Inverness fair
    Am
The liquor starts flowing
        Em                  G
And the boys start going to town
     D              C
With blood in their hair
    Em                     G
The townie boys eye up the boys from the glen
     C                    Em
They neither got money to spend
     Am
They take all the girlies
Em
Dancing and twirlin'
    G            D           C
And scrap around back in the end

   Em                       G
Me mother, she told me when I left the island,
           C                         Em
"Keep your nose and your fingernails clean
      Am
Don't ever be shy,
       Em
Always look in their eye,
    G      D            C
And always say what you mean."
       Em                       G
Well I meant what I said when I called him a coward
C                        Em
Riddled with filth and disease
    Am
The silence was golden
   Em                    G
As I was left holding my guts
     D          C
In a pile at my knees

Am
Am    G       D
Am    G       D

  Em                         D
I remember the jackals, they gathered around
G                        C
Laughing and watching me bleed
     Em                        D
They fought in a pack and they beat themselves dumb
        Em
Rah-Dah-Dum-Dah
D          Em
Dunvegan's Drums
    Em                        D
I remember the bastards, they ran in the night
         G                         C
When the Mounties showed up at the scene
    Em                                D
They're all good for nothing, they're rabble and scum
        Em
Rah-Dah-Dum-Dah
D          Em
