GLENCOE D G D
They came in a blizzard, we offered them heat
They came from Fort William with murder in mind
They came in the night when the men were asleep
Some died in their beds at the hand of the foe |

CHORUS
They came in a (A) blizzard, we (D) offered them heat.
They came from Fort William with murder in mind
They came in the night when the men were asleep
Some died in their beds at the hand of the foe
MY COMMENTS Like 'Danny Boy' and like many songs of beautiful simplicity and quality, every time you add to it, you also seem to take something away.

Subject: RE: Chords Req: Glencoe From: GUEST,Toto, Email:Toto@Irishrangers.com Date: 12 Oct 04 - 09:52 AM I have been to Glencoe and I have visited the Grave and the site where the old house stood.God damn why does English intervention in any matter in any nation they dont consider to be on par with them end in bloodshed? Scottish royalty of Irish descent slaughtered in their beds at night in one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen.Fuck you England,breaking the backs of nations by deceit,cowardice,malice and cloak and dagger tactics.Fuck you. |

Subject: RE: Chords Req: Glencoe From: Jim McLean Date: 29 May 05 - 02:22 PM 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. |
