    Em C
  • Nine years down the road and I remember it still,
    G Em
    Standing on the corner back in Govanhill -
  • Em C
    Nine days out from home, feeling no pain,
    G Em
  • The northern city sun breaking through the rain;
    Em C G
    That warmthless sun barely shinin' on
  •  
    [Riff]x4 and then the [Variation]
    Me and yooooouuuu and a bottle of Buckie
  • Me and you-hooooo and a bottle of Buckie
     
    Em C
  • Nine years come and gone since I left you at home
    G Em
    And this restless soul of mine has me startin' to roam,
  • Em C
    But the first time I stood by the banks of the Clyde,
    G Em
  • I was so glad to have you standing back by my side.
    Em C G
    So proud of what we were doing, oh
  •  
    [Riff]x8 and then the [Variation]
    Me and yooooouuuu and a bottle of Buckie
  • Me and you-hooooo and a bottle of Buckie
    Me and yououooooo and a bottle of Buckie
    Me and you-hooooo and a bottle of Buckie

    C G
    Well I knew by the dew in your starry eyes,
  • Em C
    It was the day we both had studied for for all of our lives,
    C G
  • Whether bold missionaries, or a Children's Crusade,
    Em C
    No fear, pioneers, we were on our way,
  • C G
    And there never were nothin' that could get in our way (oh!)

    Em C
    Then the Neds with their knuckles and their Burberry scarves,
  • G Em
    They said, "How'd you Jersey boys ever make it this far?"
    Em C
  • But you jumped in between and said, "Listen, my son:"
    G Em! Em!
    Said, "You don't know nothin' about-a where we're from,
  • Em c G
    You don't know nothin' about-a why it's now
     
  • [Riff]x8

  •  
    Of course the chords aren't exact, but that's what I play and it sounds fine. Do it over the last verse:
     
  • Three times I've been back in my wandering ways.
    Last time it was July, during Marching Days,
    When someone said to run from that bitter parade,
  • But I knew what you would do and I decided to stay;
    And I knew no one ever got the better of (the) me and yoooouuuuu
     
  • End with 4x[Riff] and 1x[Variation]
  • PLAY TOO ..
