Scotland's Story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Michael McGrory from
[G]west Doneg[A]al
[D]You came to Glasgow with [A]nothing
[D]at all
You fought the landlord
then [G]the Africa [A]Korps
When [D]you came to Glasgow with
[A]nothing [D]at all
Abraham Ca[G]plan from Vilnius y[A]ou came

[Verse 2]
You were [D]heading for New York but
[A]Leith's where [D]you've stayed
You built a great business
which [G]benefits [A]all
Since [D]you came to this land with
[A]nothing [D]at all
[G]In Scotland's story I [D]read that they came The [A]Gael and the Pict, the

[Verse 3]
[D]
Angle and Dane
But [G]so did the Irishman,
[A]Jew and Ukraine
They're [D]all Scotland's story
and they're [A]all worth [D]the same

[Verse 4]
Joseph [G]D'Angelo dreams of the [A]days
When [D]Italian kids in the [A]Grassmarket
[D]played
We burned out his shop when the
[G]boys went to [A]war
[D]But auld Joe's a big man and
[A]he forgave [D]all
[G]In Scotland's story I'm [D]told that they came

[Verse 5]
[A]The
Gael and the Pict, [D]the Angle and Dane
But [G]where's all the Chinese
and [A]Indian names?
They're [D]in my land's story and they're
[A]all worth the [D]same
[C][G][D][C][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[D]
Christina McKay, I [G]learned of [A]your name
How [D]you traveled south from
[A]Delny one [D]day
You raised a whole family
in [G]one room [A]they say
And [D]the X on the line stands in
[A]place of your [D]name

[Verse 7]
[G]So in the old story I'll [D]bet that I came
From [A]Gael and Pict and [D]Angle and Dane
And a [G]poor migrant girl who could
[A]not write her name
It's a [D]common old story but it's
[A]mine just [D]the same

[Verse 8]
[G]All through the story [D]the immigrants came
The [A]Gael and the Pict, [D]the Angle and Dane
From [G]Pakistan,
England and [A]from the Ukraine
[D]We're all Scotland's story and we're
[A]all worth [D]the same
Your Scotland's story [A]is worth just the [G]same
