Em       D       C            D       G
Down the Buckney den the burn crashes brown from
    D      C
The Autumn spate
              D      G              D        C
The spreading hazels rustle as they bend and sway
        D     C
As they laden wait
G                       D           G
   My fathers they have walked this road
          C
And now I know
        D
And yes didn't they know
G D     G
   There is no great and heavy load
  C
And now I know
D
And yes didn't they know
G             D     G
Fa la-a la la la la la
            D     Em        D     C    D
We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground

We stand on Solid Ground on Solid Ground
Em         D      C              D         G
Across the Arlick face the amber sun beats down
             D     C
To tinge the vivid green
          D        G             D        C
I hear it wide and loud, feel it wild and proud,
             D      C
The way it's always been
G                      D           G
  My fathers they have looked this way
          C
And now I know
D
And yes didn't they know
G                  D       G
  No clever words we have to say
  C
And now I know
D
And yes didn't they know
G             D     G
Fa la-a la la la la la
    D     Em         D     C     D
We stand on Solid Ground, on Solid Ground

Where is the honest truth? Where is the open soul?
     D      C
Where is the simple smile?
          D       G           D       C
A couthie word or two for the passing stranger
        D      C
Who may rest a while
G                      D          G
  My fathers they have said these things
          C
And now I know
D
And yes didn't they know

  The joy that shared friendship brings
  C
And now I know

And yes didn't they know
