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
F C7
Should old acquaintance be forgot
F Bb
And never brought to mind
F C7
Should old acquaintance be forgot
A Dm Gm7 C7 F
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

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.

Robert burns is a scot poet
Thanks, Alec. Yes, to be sure Robbie Burns is Scotland's most famous poet and songwriter. Auld Lang Syne's original melody is different than what is often played these days. To hear a beautiful rendition to the original melody, take a listen to The Barra MacNeil's version on their Christmas Album cd.
Rabbie Burns english!!! what!!!! how dare you!! hahaha
