     C               G         C        F                 C
I've been a wand'rer all of my life and many a sight I've seen,

     C       Em     F        C    F         G       C
When I was a lad, a tiny wee lad, my mother said to me,
      C       Em       F         C     F                G        C
"Come see the Northern Lights my boy, they're bright as they can be."
    F                         C              F             E
She called them the heavenly dancers, merry dancers in the sky,
     C        Em        F         C      G            G7       C
I'll never forget that wonderful sight, they made the heavens bright.

The Northern Lights of Aberdeen are what I long to see.

God speed the day when I'm on my way to my home in Aberdeen.
 
      C          Em   F       C      F             G      C
I've wandered in many far-off lands, and travelled many a mile,
     C           Em         F        C         F        G         C
I've missed the folks I've cherished most, the joy of a friendly smile.
   F                         C             F                    E
It warms up the heart of the wand'rer, the clasp of a welcoming hand,
    C    Em      F    C    G           G7    C
To greet me when I return, home to my native land.
 
     C                 G       C           F                   C
The Northern Lights of old Aberdeen, sweet home, sweet home to me,
    F                  C   Am       D      D7       G      G7
The Northern Lights of Aberdeen are what I long to see.
     C               G         C        F                  C
I've been a wand'rer all of my life and many a sight I've seen,
    F                      C     Am        D       G    C      D  G  C
God speed the day when I'm on my way to my home in Aberdeen.
