A 
 For many years I have travelled in this lowland, 
                              E 
 And always you have shown me loyalty.

 Now I would like to tell you as a brother, 
                      E        A 
 You've been an inspiration to me. 
      
        A 
 You've been an inspiration 
     D                  A 
 All through this world below 
        A 
 You've been an inspiration 
     D               A 
 I'm glad to let you know 
        A 
 You've been a friendly neighbour 
   D                  A 
 I know you'll always be 
     D               A 
 And I would like to tell you while I may 
                       E       A 
 You've been an inspiration to me 
  
  
 I'd like to have you with me when I'm leaving, 
 To sail away to God's eternity. 
 I know you'd be faithful then as always, 
 You've been an inspiration to me.
