Albany - German Version Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Albany, that once stood high
over Norton [A]Green[D]
Albany, whose mighty walls
the people sheltered under
Albany, proud symbol set
in the Highlands free
(This is [A]Gor[D] don McKenzie's story)
Just like a song,
a song that lasts forever
(And the story of Albany,
his family home)

[Verse 2]
[D]Albany, that once stood [A]high
over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty [G]walls
the people [A]shelter [D]under[A]
[D]Al bany, proud symbol [A]set
in the Highlands free
[G]Just like a song,
a [A]song that lasts forever
[D]

[Verse 3]
Gordon was the eldest son,
a golden [G]eagle, so the story run[D]s
His brother Charles, dark as the [A]raven
One night in [D]jealous rage and spite,
the raven [G]struck with all his [D]might
The eagle [A]turned as quick as
[C]light and [A]slew the raven
[D]

[Verse 4]
Albany, that once stood [A]high
over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty [G]walls
the people [A]shelter [D]under
Albany, proud symbol [A]set
in the Highlands free
[G]Just like a song,
a [A]song that last forever
[D]

[Verse 5]
See the king's men come riding
through the heather
McKenzie's life they cry
and all his [A]land
[D]Silent clansmen stand motionless together
An English king won't
have a Highland man

[Verse 6]
So the [E]king by his decree did
raze and [A]fire poor Albany
[E]To let the people see his pow[B]er
the island [E]justice still prevails
And according [A]to the clansman's tales
A [E]golden [B]eagle nests forever
[D]in [B]her tower
[E]

[Verse 7]
Albany, that once stood [B]high
over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty [A]walls the
people [B]shelter [E]under
Albany, proud symbol [B]set
in the Highlands free
[A]Just like a song,
a [B]song that last forever
[E]

[Verse 8]
Albany, that once stood [B]high
over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty walls [A]the
[B]people she[E]lter under
Albany, proud symbol [B]set
in the Highlands free
[A]Just like a song,
[B]a song that last forever
[E]

[Verse 9]
Albany, that once stood [B]high
over Norton Green
Albany, whose mighty walls
[A]the people shelter
