(Click here for midi - The song is in 3/4 time)
(|C)You were the (|)princess of (|G)Wester Si(|)on,
who (|Am)held out for (|)Christmas when (|)all hope was (|)gone.
You (|C)lived in a (|)castle on the (|G)bank of the (|)Tay
and (|Am)laboured for (|)duty by (|Em)night and by (Am)day.
CHORUS:
(|F)Who pays the (|)piper can (|C)pick out the (|)song
to (|G)drown out our (|)dreams as the (|C)days pass a(|)long.
(|F)Who pays the (|)piper to (|C)sing loud and (|)true
to (|G)drown out the (|)calls of the (|Am)dancer
(||G )the (|)dancer for (|Am)you.
Tayside in summer, a magical place,
to be with you there brought a smile to my face.
I wanted a lover, you wanted a friend,
We danced 'till the Sun brought the dance to an end.
CHORUS
You now have your freedom, a new place to start,
no more nights of fear, in charge of your heart.
Remember the dancer who once came to stay,
who came when you called him, but then slipped away.
CHORUS
