Capo 2nd fret
(Verse)
D G A
Michael McGrory from West Donegal
D A D
You came to Glasgow with nothing at all
G A
You fought the landlord then the Africa Corps
D A D
When you came to Glasgow with nothing at all
(Verse)
D G A
Abraham Caplan from Vilnius you came
D A D
You were heading for New York but Leith's where you've stayed
G A
You built a great business, it benefits all
D A D
Since you came to this land with nothing at all
(Chorus)
G D
In Scotland's story I read that they came
A D
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
G D A
But so did the Irishman, Jew and Ukraine
D A D
They're all Scotland's story and they're all worth the same
(Verse)
D G A
Joseph D'Angelo dreams of the days
D A D
When Italian kids in the Grassmarket played
G A
Burned out his shop when the boys went to war
D A D
But Auld Joe's a big man and he forgave all
(Chorus)
G D
In Scotland's story I'm told that they came
A D
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
G D A
But where's all the Chinese and Indian names
D A D
They're in my land's story and they're all worth the same
(Verse)
D G A
Christina McKay, I learned of your name
D A D
How you travelled south from Delny one day
G A
You raised a whole family in one room they say
D A D
And the X on the line stands in place of your name
(Chorus)
G D
So in the old story I'll bet that I came
A D
From Gael and Pict and Angle and Dane
G D A
And a poor migrant girl who could not write her name
D A D - D7
It's a common old story but it's mine just the same
G D
All through the story the immigrants came
A D
The Gael and the Pict, the Angle and Dane
G D A
From Pakistan, England and from the Ukraine
D A D
We're all Scotland's story and we're all worth the same
D A G - D
Your Scotland's story is worth just the same
