Bm
Southern bound from Glasgow town
      D              G
she's shining in the sun
              Bm
my Scotstoun lassie
D           G
on a border run
Bm
We're whistling down the hillsides
    D               G
and tearing up the climbs
           Bm      D           G
I'm just a thiever    stealing time
               Bm
in the Border Reiver
Bm
Three hundred thousand on the clock
    D              G
and plenty more to go
Bm
Crash box and lever
      D                   G
- she needs the heel and toe
      Bm
She's not too cold in winter
        D               G
but she cooks me in the heat
               Bm             D                G
I'm a six-foot driver but you can't adjust the seat

G            D
'Sure as the Sunrise'
A             F#m              Bm
that's what they say about the Albion
G             D
'Sure as the Sunrise',
A              F#m             Bm
that's what they say about the Albion
            F#m
And she's an Albion
         Bm
She's an Albion

Bm
The Ministry don't worry me
   D             G
my paperwork's alright
           Bm
They can't touch me
  D                 G
I got my sleep last night
     Bm                            D  G
It's knocking out a living wage in 1969
          Bm        D           G
I'm just a thiever     stealing time
              Bm

And she's an Albion
         Bm
She's an Albion
