VERSE 1

C7     F                 C7 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

    F     F7         Bb 
And never brought to mind?

       F                 C7 
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

    Bb      C7        F 
And days of auld lang syne?

Bb  F         C7 
For auld lang syne, my dear,

    F         Bb 
For auld lang syne,

      F             C7 
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

    Bb   C7   F 
For auld lang syne. 

  
VERSE 2

C7  F                 C7 
And here's a hand, my trusty friend,

    F      F7      Bb 
And give a hand o' thine;

      F             C7 
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

    Bb   C7   F 
For auld lang syne.

Bb  F         C7 
For auld lang syne, my dear,

    F         Bb 
For auld lang syne,

      F             C7 
We'll take a cup of kindness yet,

    Bb   C7   F 
For auld lang syne.
