IDLEWILD - "flower of scotland" Tablature
Official IDLEWILD Tablature & Sheet Music »
This is a song originally written by Scottish band
The Corries, and has since been adopted as the
Scottish national anthem and national drinking song.
I heard Idlewild play it recently at the start of
their set at T in the Park here in Scotland, and the
crowd went mad, so i thought I'd tab it out as there
is no guitar tab for this song anywhere on the
internet, only a tab for the chords.
To play it like Idlewild did, just crank up the
distortion and have fun :-)
O Flower... When will... Your like...

Lyrics:
O Flower of Scotland,
When will we see
Your like again,
That fought and died for,
Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
And stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
The Hills are bare now,
And Autumn leaves
lie thick and still,
O'er land that is lost now,
Which those so dearly held,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Those days are past now,
And in the past
They must remain,
But we can still rise now,
And be the nation again,
That stood against him,
Proud Edward's Army,
And sent him homeward,
Tae think again.
Repeat Verse 1
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official IDLEWILD tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
