Verse 
Am 
Auld wives lift, auld wives lift 
              G            F 
How have you got here? 
              G 
Where do you come from? 
             Am 
What do you tell? 

Am 
I see his face, i see his face 
            G                 F 
Carved deep in the stone 
         G                    Am 
Another mind you have taken away 

      F               Am        G 
But i swam across the ocean to find your memory 
   F                 Am            G 
A trace of all that you've left behind 
         F                     Am               G 
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die 
            F           Am            G 
Without a child for to call out your name 

Verse 
       Am 
Now i call your name, i call your name 
               G                 F 
But you can't hear me now 
               G            Am 
No, you don't recognise my face 

Am 
Who are you? who are you? 
                G                F 
And why do you call me that? 
     G                Am 
How dare you call me that 

 
      F               Am        G 
But i swam across the ocean to find your memory 
   F                 Am            G 
A trace of all that you've left behind 
         F                     Am               G 
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die 
            F           Am            G 
Without a child for to call out your name 


Bridge 
                F  Am  G 
But i call your na-aa-aame 
            F  Am  G 
I call your na-aa-aame

I call your na-aa-aame

I call your na-aa-aame

A trace of all that you've left behind 
         F                     Am               G 
And the auld wives swore that you were born to die
