Guitar: Both Sides The Tweed (Including lyrics and chords)

Both Sides The Tweed is a song requested by breenmck. The following article is from Wikipedia: "Both sides the Tweed" is a song about the Treaty of Union between Scotland and England. Dick Gaughan made minor changes to the words and added his own tune. The song was written in 1979 and first appeared on Gaughan's 1981 album Handful of Earth. Though Gaughan's recording was embraced by music critics at the time, the song achieved wide popularity only later when it was recorded by the Scottish group Capercaillie on their album Sidewaulk. There is some controversy over whether the song was written by Gaughan or adapted from a traditional song from 1707 attributed to James Hogg, though Hogg was not born until 1770. The historic version of the song can be found as Song LXXV, pp.126-127, The Jacobite Relics of Scotland by James Hogg, published in 1819. Quoting a local Borders press article on the festival of the same name, Lori Watson notes that: "I've heard Dick himself acknowledge, 'when I came across it, it didn't have his name on it but Hogg's fingerprints are all over it'". Gaughan changed some lyrics and replaced the tune but the song's message is essentially the same. Gaughan himself says he is the composer, stating "So far as I am aware, I actually composed it and am highly flattered by the presumption that it is traditional, with people claiming to have known it for several decades, if not centuries...if someone can provide a printed or recorded source to prove the existence of this tune prior to 1979 then I'd be delighted to acknowledge that I unconsciously used a traditional tune." "Both sides the Tweed" speaks of the corruption involved in the negotiations leading up to the Act of Union of 1707, which linked Scotland and England on terms that nationalists believe did much damage to Scottish culture. The tone of the song, however, is conciliatory and may be read as a reaction against the anti-Englishness of some Scottish nationalistic songs. The title refers to the River Tweed, which marks part of the border between Scotland and England. The song has been mentioned in recent discussions on a Scottish national anthem. My friend Ian Blacklaw Richardson (Known to friends as Max) wrote 'Scotland Will Flourish' which also has been mentioned in those recent discussions and while I like Gaughan's song, Max's for me and many others would be favourite for that exalted position.    • 12-string Guitar: Scotland Will Flourish (...   Both Sides The Tweed Dick Gaughan Am C F Dm What's the Spring breathin' jasmine and rose? C Am G What's the Summer with all its gay train? Am C F Dm Or the splendour of Autumn to those C G Am Who've bartered their freedom for gain? F Em G Let the love of our land's sacred rights Am F Em G To the love of our people succeed ¬ Am C F Dm Let friendship and honour unite C G Am And flourish on both sides the Tweed. No sweetness the senses can cheer Which corruption and bribery blind No brightness that gloom can ere clear For honour's the sun of the mind Let virtue distinguish the brave Place riches in lowest degree Think them poorest who can be a slave Them richest who dares to be free
