I'm wanting to chord tab the song Donald McDonald as recorded by The McCalmans on their 1980 album The Ettrick Shepherd, presumably composed by James Hogg about a couple of centuries ago. I managed to track down a couple of verses and their choruses, but I'm still missing 3 verses and their respective choruses. These are what I need help with please. I'm afraid the Scots brogue escapes my ear. This is the recording by The McCalmans: Donald MacDonald The tempo is very fast, making it difficult to hear the lyrics. However, I managed to slow down the tempo without changing the pitch, of which I have a copy. If you would like a copy of the slowed down mp3, please let me know how I can get it to you. These are the lyrics I managed to find: My name is Donald MacDonald I leeve in the Highlands so grand I ha'e followed our banner, and will do Wherever my master has land When rankit amang the blue bonnets Nae danger can lear me ava I ken that my brethren around me Are either to conquer or fa' Brogues an' brochin an' a' Brochin an' brogues an' a' An' is nae her very weel aff Wi' her brogues an' brochin an' a'? [Verse and Chorus missing here] [Verse and Chorus missing here] Wad Bonaparte land at Forty William Auld Europe nae langer should grane I laugh when I think how we'd gall him Wi' bullet, wi' steel an' wi' stane Wi' rocks o' the Nevis and Garney We'd rattle him off frae our shore Or lull him asleep in a cairny An' sing him, "Lochaber no more!" Stanes an' bullets an' a' Bullets an' stanes an' a' We'll finish the Corsican callant Wi' stanes an' bullets an' a' [Verse and Chorus missing here] My thanks to any who can help.
