C G

Should auld acquaintance be forgot


Am F
And never brought to min'?
C G
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
F G C
And days of auld lang syne?

Refrain
C G
For auld lang syne, my dear
Am F
For auld lang syne
C G
We'll tak' ae cup o'kindness yet
F G C
For auld lang syne

The words are by, I believe, Robert Burns. Please check me on this. Some
English poet, anyway. I ain't an English major. I don't know who
originally set it to music, but here goes:

Auld Lang Syne

F C7
Should old acquaintance be forgot
F Bb
And never brought to mind
F C7
Should old acquaintance be forgot
A Dm Gm7 C7 F
And days of auld lang syne

For auld lang syne, my dear,


For auld lang syne,
We'll take a cup o'kindness yet
And days of auld lang syne

The original poem has another verse, but nobody ever sings it.

Special bonus (because I don't want to go back to studying yet): Melody tab

Play with a wah-wah and very heavy distortion; it sounds cool, really.

Happy new year to you all; I'm going home for break (assuming I survive
exams), so I shan't be posting for a while (now, now, don't get too
upset).
