[Verse 1]
Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud
And be free and a race
        G
That is part of a clan
    Dm
And to live on highlands
        Am
And the air that you breathe
So pure and so clean
      G           Dm
When alone on the hills
         F            C
With the wind in your hair
       G          Dm
With a longing to feel
           Am
Just to be free

[Verse 2]
It is right to believe
In the need to be free
It's a time when you die
And without asking why
          G
Can't you see what they do
         Dm
They are grinding us down
         Am
They are taking our land
That belongs to the clans
     G           Dm
Not alone with a dream
       F          C
Just a want to be free
       G         Dm
With a need to belong
       Am
I am a clansman

[Chorus]
Em    C G

[Verse 3]
       Am
It's a time wrough with fear
It's a land wrough with change
Ancestors could hear
What is happening now
           G
They would turn in their graves
           Dm
They would all be ashamed
         Am
That the land of the free
Has been written in chains
      G           Dm
And I know what I want
         F         C
When the timing is right
          G            Dm
Then I'll take what is mine
         Am
I am the clansman

[Verse 4]
And I swear to defend
And we'll fight to the end
And I swear that I'll never
Be taken alive
      G
And I know that we'll stand
          Dm
And we'll fight for our land
      Am
And I swear that my bairns
Will be born free
      G           Dm
And I know what I want
         F         C
When the timing is right
          G            Dm
Then I'll take what is mine
         Am
I am the clansman
