A                E
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
    A                D
And never brought to mind
        A                E
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
        D                A
in the days of auld lang syne


[Chorus]
    A          E
For auld lang syne, my dear,
    A         D
For auld lang syne,
      A             E
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
        D                 A
For the sake of auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
    A         D
For auld lang syne,
      A             E
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
        D                 A
For the sake of auld lang syne.


[Verse 2]
(band in)
      A               E
Let's have a drink or maybe two!
    A             D
Or maybe three or four!
    A              E
Or five or six or seven or eight,
    D          A
And maybe even more!


[Chorus]
    A          E
For auld lang syne, my dear,
    A         D
For auld lang syne,
      A             E
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
        D                 A
For the sake of auld lang syne.

[Verse 3]
    A                E
And when it gets to closing time,
    A                 D
And if you still want more,
   A             E
I know a pub in Inverness
     D               A
That never shuts its door!


[Chorus]
    A          E
For auld lang syne, my dear,
    A         D
For auld lang syne,
      A             E
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
        D                 A
For the sake of auld lang syne.


[Chorus]
    A          E
For auld lang syne, my dear,
    A         D
For auld lang syne,
      A             E
We'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
        D                 A
For the sake of auld lang syne.
