      C                     F
  Our thrissles flourish'd fresh and fair,
        D7                G7
  And bonie bloom'd our roses;
        C                F 
  But Whigs cam like a frost in June,
       G7            C
  An wither'd a our posies.
  
   C
  Awa, Whigs, awa!
    D7         G7
  Awa, Whigs, awa!
         C            F       
  Ye're but a pack o traitor louns,
        G7            C
  Ye'll do nae guid at a'.
  
  Our ancient crown's fa'n in the dust;
     Deil blin' them wi the stoure o't,
  An  write their names in the black beuk
     Wha gae the Whigs the power o't!
  
  Our sad decay in church and state
     Surpasses my descriving:
  The Whig cam o'er us for a curse,
    An we hae done wi thriving.
  
  Grim Vengeance lang has taen a nap,
    But we may see him waukin:
  Gude help the day when Royal heads
     Are hunted like a maukin!

Updated: These chords I consider correct

      D                  
Our thrissles flourish'd fresh and fair,
      G                     (Em)
And bonie bloom'd our roses;
      D               Bm
But Whigs cam like a frost in June,
    D             G
An wither'd a our posies.

D
Awa, Whigs, awa!
G               (Em)
Awa, Whigs, awa!
       D            Bm
Ye're but a pack o traitor louns,
      G                (Em)
Ye'll do nae guid at a'.

Our ancient crown's fa'n in the dust;
   Deil blin' them wi the stoure o't,
An write their names in the black beuk
   Wha gae the Whigs the power o't!

Our sad decay in church and state
   Surpasses my descriving:
The Whig cam o'er us for a curse,
An we hae done wi thriving.

Grim Vengeance lang has taen a nap,
But we may see him waukin:
Gude help the day when Royal heads
   Are hunted like a maukin!

In the DT, with tune: Awa, Whigs, awa

No need to post the whole song again (twice!) though the guitar chords will be probably be useful for beginners.
