This has been hiding in my repertoire for years - can't find a video, but here's my best shot at the chords and lyrics:


I Will Stay
(Bob Skingle)

You have [G] tempted me [C] here with your [D] hills and your [G] moorlands
Your [Em] clear mountain [C] streams flowing [D] down to the bay.
I have [G] come to your [C] town from a [D] small rocky [G] island
But in [Em] valley and [C] highlands I will [D] stay, I will [G] stay [G7]

There is [C] smoke in the [D] air from your [G] tall factory [Em] chimneys
[C] Red brick turns [D] brown where the [G] kids laugh and [Em] play.
But your [C] land lives with [D] legend and [G] sings with proud [Em] music
In your valleys and [G] highlands I will [D] stay. [D7]
Chorus

I have [C] walked by your [D] river that [G] flows dark and [Em] dirty
Seen you [C] dressed in fine [D] colours of [G] April and [Em] May.
Seen the [C] smile in the [D] eyes of your [G] sons and your [Em] daughters
In your valleys and [G] highlands I will [D] stay. [D7]
Chorus

I will [C] stay by your [D] meadows and [G] wide open [Em] moorlands.
Where [C] heather grows [D] golden where [G] trees sing and [Em] sway
In the [C] hot dusty [D] sun of your [G] smokey old [Em] cities
In your valleys and [G] highlands I will [D] stay.   [D7]

You have [G] tempted me [C] here with your [D] hills and your [G] moorlands
Your [Em] clear mountain [C] streams flowing [D] down to the bay.
I have [G] come to your [C] town from a [D] small rocky [G] island
But in [Em] valley and [C] highlands I will [D] stay, I will [G] stay [G]~
