Verse 1:
       F                 C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
    F                Bb
and never brought to mind?
       F                 C
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
A   Dm   Bb   C    F
and auld lang syne?

Chorus:
    F         C
For auld lang syne, my jo,
    F         Bb
for auld lang syne,
      F             C
we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
A   Dm   Bb   C    F
for auld lang syne.

Verse 2:
    F               C
And surely ye’ll be your pint-stoup!
    F              Bb
And surely I’ll be mine!
          F             C
And we’ll tak’ a cup o’ kindness yet,
A   Dm   Bb   C    F
for auld lang syne.

Verse 3:
   F            C
We twa hae run about the braes,
    F                Bb
and pou’d the gowans fine;
          F               C
but we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit,
A    Dm   Bb   C    F
sin’ auld lang syne.

Verse 4:
   F               C
We twa hae paidl’d in the burn,
     F                Bb
frae morning sun till dine;
    F               C
but seas between us braid hae roar’d
A    Dm   Bb   C    F
sin’ auld lang syne.

Verse 5:
    F                  C
And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere!
    F               Bb
and gie’s a hand o’ thine!
          F                 C
And we’ll tak’ a right gude-willie waught,
A   Dm   Bb   C    F
for auld lang syne.
