Auld Lang Syne

Words by Robert Burns

Traditional Scottish Tune

 

       C                 F     G7

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

    C                F

And never brought to mind,

       C                 Dm    G7

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

    F       G7        C

And days of auld lang syne.

 

CHORUS:

For auld lang syne, my dear. for auld lang syne.

We'll take a cup of kindness, yet, for auld lang syne!

 

And surely you'll be your pint stowp, and surely I'll be mine.

And we'll drink a richt guid willy waught, for auld lang syne.

 

CHORUS:

 

We twa hae run aboot the braes, and pu'd the gowans fine,

But we've wandered monie a wearie fit', since auld lang syne.

 

CHORUS:

 

We twa hae paided in the burn, frae morning sun till dine.

But seas a'tween us braid hae roared, since auld lang syne.

 

CHORUS:

 

And here's a hand, my trusty friend, and gie's a hand o' thine.

We'll take a cup o' kindness, yet. for auld lang syne.

 

CHORUS
