[Em]  [C]  [Am]  [D]  [G]
Come a-[G]gain, come a-[Em]gain, ye [C] Burghead [Am] men,
And [D] sail wi' the [D] mornin' [G] tide. [D] 
Come a-[G]gain, come a-[Em]gain, through the [C] wind and the [Am] rain,
To the [D] place where you'll [D] always [G] bide. [G] 
{soc}
And you [C] know when you [D] stand on the [G] Burghead [Em] sand
Tho' the [C] years be [Am] ten times [D] ten. [D] 
You'll [G] aye be a [Em] slave to the [C] ocean [Am] wave,
'Til you're [D] back on the [D] sea once a-[G]gain. [G] 
{eoc}
When the[G] fishing's [Em] done, the [C] harvest [Am] won,
May [D] good your [D] boaties [G] guide, [G] 
Tae the [G] harbour [Em] gate, where the [C] women [Am] wait
'Til you're're [D] safely [D] by their [G] side
{soc}
And you [C] know when you [D] stand on the [G] Burghead [Em] sand
Tho' the [C] years be [Am] ten times [D] ten. [D] 
You'll [G] aye be a [Em] slave to the [C] ocean [Am] wave,
'Til you're [D] back on the [D] sea once a-[G]gain. [G] 
{eoc}
[G] Born in the [Em] lee of the [C] great North [Am] Sea,
Where the [D] weepin' [D] willows [G] lapped. [D] 
[G] Married at [Em] birth, to the [C] Moray [Am] Firth,
And the [D] deck o' a [D] fishin' [G] craft.
{soc}
And you [C] know when you [D] stand on the [G] Burghead [Em] sand
Tho' the [C] years be [Am] ten times [D] ten. [D] 
You'll [G] aye be a [Em] slave to the [C] ocean [Am] wave,
'Til you're [D] back on the [D] sea once a-[G]gain. [G] 
{eoc}
Come a-[G]gain, come a-[Em]gain, ye [C] Burghead [Am] men,
Tae the [D] Broch where you'll [D] aye [G] belong. [D] 
To the [G] druid's [Em] well, the [C] Clavie's [Am] smell,
And the [D] oyster-[D]catchers [G] song.
{soc}
And you [C] know when you [D] stand on the [G] Burghead [Em] sand
Tho' the [C] years be [Am] ten times [D] ten. [D] 
You'll [G] aye be a [Em] slave to the [C] ocean [Am] wave,
'Til you're [D] back on the [D] sea once a-[G]gain. [G] 
{eoc}
{c: slower }
'Til you're [D] back on the [D] sea once a-[G]gain. [D]/ [G]/
