Verse 
             Am         G        C 
When I was a lad, I had music in me 
   Am       G           C         D7 
My father remembers it, fondly to be 
G          Am       G            C 
Said I had rhythm before I could walk 
        Am    G     C 
Oh, his heart songs last 
           Am   G   D 
Though his time has passed 

 
G    C    G 
Lift your hearts and sing with us 
    C      G 
One strong voice to raise you up 
Em    D        C          G 
Songs sung for me and for you

The sweetest of voices there ever could be

My mother's keepsake, it's plain now to see

Her beautiful melody

Verse 
             Am     G            C 
A travelling piper, that was his trade 
    Am            G                  C        D7 
The dancer at the crossroads, to the music he made 
    G             Am                G         C 
The barroom's all gone now, but his legend survives 
             Am    G C 
They hum his tunes today 
        Am    G     D 
Distant pipes still play
