Listening to “cairdeas<\/a>” Album “Autumn” again today, I came across the tune “both sides the tweed” which caught my interest, so I grabbed the lyrics off the net and put some chords to it. Lovely song about reconciliation of Scotland and England of all countries, if you can believe it!<\/p>\n

Thanks to the original web page, “Dick Gaughans Song Archive<\/a>” for providing the lyrics.<\/p>\n

The chords can be a bit off placement wise depending on your browser font rendering, so please adjust accordingly!<\/p>\n
