G C G Oh, cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe,G D and covers the grave o' Donald.G C G And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe,C D G and murdered the house o' MacDonald.G D G 1. They came in the blizzard, we offered them heat,D G D a roof o'er their heads, dry shoes for their feet.G D G Em We wined them and dined them, they ate of our meat,C D G and they slept in the house o' MacDonald. [Chorus]G C G Oh, cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe,G D and covers the grave o' Donald.G C G And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe,C D G and murdered the house o' MacDonald.G D G 2. They came from Fort William with murder in mind,D G D the Campbell's had orders, King William had signed :G D G Em Put all to the sword, these words underlined,C D G and leave none alive called MacDonald. [Chorus]G C G Oh, cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe,G D and covers the grave o' Donald.G C G And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe,C D G and murdered the house o' MacDonald.G D G 3. They came in the night when the men were asleep,D G D this band of Argyles, through snow soft and deep.G D G Em Like murdering foxes, among helpless sheep,C D G they slaughtered the house o' MacDonald. [Chorus]G C G Oh, cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe,G D and covers the grave o' Donald.G C G And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe,C D G and murdered the house o' MacDonald.G D G 4. Some died in their beds at the hands of the foe,D G D some fled in the night, and were lost in the snow.G D G Em Some lived to accuse him, that struck the first blowC D G but gone was the house of MacDonald [Chorus]G C G Oh, cruel is the snow that sweeps Glencoe,G D and covers the grave o' Donald.G C G And cruel was the foe that raped Glencoe,C D G and murdered the house o' MacDonald.
