Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Down the Buckney den the burn crashes brown from

 The Autumn spate

 The spreading hazels rustle as they bend and sway

 As they laden wait

My fathers they have walked this road

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

There is no great and heavy load

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground

Across the Arlick face the amber sun beats down

 To tinge the vivid green

 I hear it wide and loud, feel it wild and proud,

 The way it's always been

My fathers they have looked this way

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

No clever words we have to say

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

 It's the land-it is our wisdom

 It's the land-it shines us through

 It's the land-it feeds our children

 It's the land-you cannot own the land

 The land owns you

 It's the land-it is our wisdom

 It's the land-it shines us through

 It's the land-it feeds our children

 It's the land-you cannot own the land

 The land owns you

Where is the honest truth? Where is the open soul?

 Where is the simple smile?

 A couthie word or two for the passing stranger

 Who may rest a while

My fathers they have said these things

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

The joy that shared friendship brings

 And now I know

 And yes didn't they know

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

Fa la-a la la la la la

 We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

 It's the land-it is our wisdom

 It's the land-it shines us through

 It's the land-it feeds our children

 It's the land-you cannot own the land

 The land owns you

 It's the land-it is our wisdom

 It's the land-it shines us through

 It's the land-it feeds our children

 It's the land-you cannot own the land

 The land owns you
