An Arbroath Timeline....
The Inchcape's Ee (2006)
Is this the Arbroath road, my it's changed

since the days I was a loon

and the harbour shines, just like a jewel

bringin' sail and new life back intae the toun

Are these the Arbroath fields, fertile and grand
keepin' a the country fed
Are these the Angus chiels, wha work the land
red sandstone in them bred
Have I taken her for granted through my days
F# E
Is she no due a word o' praise ?
C# Aflat
Arbroath , you're aye the same wi me
E D A G
your lights are ever hame tae me
C D G
Icon o hard won liberty
E D A G
watched owre by the Inchcape's ee
C D G
Is this the ceaseless tide that has called Aberbrothock's men tae sea
I tip my hat tae the brave wha brocht harvests hame tae me
Are these the Abbey walls whar the Bruce made his call for freedom clear
Are these the pageant fowk wha safely guard his truth frae year tae year
Is this the Arbroath sky like a saltire flyin' free, white on blue, endlessly
Arbroath, you're aye the same wi me....
