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

FF Piano Chord 
                C7C7 Piano Chord 

Should old acquaintance be forgot
FF Piano Chord 
                BbBb Piano Chord 

And never brought to mind
FF Piano Chord 
                C7C7 Piano Chord 

Should old acquaintance be forgot
AA Piano Chord 
   DmDm Piano Chord 
   Gm7Gm7 Piano Chord 
     C7C7 Piano Chord 
   FF Piano Chord 

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

e-----------5---------5------5--8--10--10--8--5-5----------5------------
b---6--5-6-----8-6-8-----6-6----------------------6--8-6-8---6-------6--
g-5------------------------------------------------------------7-7-5----

e-10--8--5-5-----------10--8--5-5--8--10--10--8--5-5---------5----------
b------------6--8-6-8--------------------------------6-8-6-8---6-------6
g----------------------------------------------------------------7-7-5--

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).

Corrections, improvements, good karma welcome as always.

Alec
