This is how I have done it for a few years now. It works well for me.

I have substituted the La Las with a guitarline that mimics the la las.

MEN of WORTH
(Archie Fisher)

Le(G)ave the land behind, laddie, better days to find


The co(C)mpanies have the mon(G)ey and they'll so(Am)on teach you

the ski(D7)lls


Gre(G)en fields fall away, the forties and the brae


Be a mud(C)man or a rou(G)stabo(EM)ut, they'll so(D)on teach you

to dri(G)ll

But wh(D)o will tend me sheep when I'(C)m far o'er the de(G)ep?


On the Ne(C)ptune or The Sea(G)Quest when the sn(Am)ow comes to

the h(D7)ill, La ....G///// //C//// /GC///G////D////G

Leave the fishing trade, lads, there's money to be made
The hand-line and the Shetland yawl are of a bygone day
Come to Aberdeen; sights you've never seen!
Be a welder on the pipeline or a fitter on the Quay

But when the job is over and your boat rots on the shore
How will you feed your family when the companies go away?
La ....

There's harbors to be built, lads, rigs to tow and tilt
To rest upon the ocean bed like pylons in the sea
Pipeline to be laid and a hundred different trades
That'll pay a decent living wage to the likes of you and me

I know you're men of worth; you're the best that's in the north
Not men of greed, but men who need the work that's come your way
We'll pump it to the shore, a new industry is born
Old Peterhead and Cromarty will never be the same

I know you're men of worth; you're the best that's in the north
Not men of greed, but men who need the work that's come your way
La ....


Note:
"We'll pump it to the shore" I know this line is incorrect but here in the middle of New York State it makes sense and I don't have to translate an odd name which I'm unsure of anyway.
