These are the chords on my original lead sheet (1963) in G major.
GLENCOE
CHORUS Oh, (G)cruel was the snow that (C) sweeps Glen (G) coe And covers the grave o' (D) Donald Oh, (G) cruel was the foe that (C) raped Glen (Bm) coe And (C) murdered the (D) house of Mac (G) Donald
They (G)came in a (Am) blizzard, we (Bm) offered them (Em) heat. A (Am7) roof for their (D)heads, dry (G) shoes for their (D) feet. We (G) wined them and (Am) dined them, they (Bm) ate of our (Em)meat And they (C) slept in the (D) house of Mac (G) Donald
They came from Fort William with murder in mind The Campbell had orders King William had signed "Put all to the sword"- these words underlined. And leave none alive called MacDonald.
They came in the night when the men were asleep This band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep Like murdering foxes amongst helpless sheep They slaughtered the house of MacDonald
Some died in their beds at the hand of the foe Some fled in the night and were lost in the snow Some lived to accuse him who struck the first blow But gone was the house of MacDonald.
