They played him home to the House of Stones	B
nbsp nbsp nbsp All the way all the way	C
To his grave in the sound of the winter sea	D
nbsp nbsp nbsp The sky was dour the sky was gray	C
They played him home with the chieftain's dirge	E
Till the wail was wed to the rolling surge	E
They played him home with a sorrowful will	F
To his grave at the foot of the Holy Hill	F
nbsp nbsp nbsp And the pipes went mourning all the way	C
	-
Strong hands that had struck for right	G
nbsp nbsp nbsp All the day all the day	C
Folded now in the dark of earth	H
nbsp nbsp nbsp Veiled dawn of the upper way	C
Strong hands that struck with his	I
From days that were to the day that is	I
Carry him now from the house of woe	J
To ride the way the Chief must go	J
nbsp nbsp nbsp And his peers went mourning all the way	C

Son and brother at his right hand	K
nbsp nbsp nbsp All the way all the way	C
And O for them and O for her	L
nbsp nbsp nbsp Who stayed within the dowie day	C
Son and brother and near of kin	M
Go out with the chief who never comes in	M
And of all who loved him far and near	N
'Twas the nearest most who held him dear	N

nbsp nbsp nbsp All the way all the way	C
A wider clan than ever he knew	P
nbsp nbsp nbsp Followed him home that dowie day	C
And who were they of the wider clan	Q
The landless man and the no man's man	Q
The man that lacked and the man unlearned	C
The man that lived but as he earned	C
nbsp nbsp nbsp And the clan went mourning all the way	C
	-
The heart of New Zealand went beside	C
nbsp nbsp nbsp All the way all the way	C
To the resting place of her Highland Chief	R
nbsp nbsp nbsp Much she thought she could not say	C
He found her a land of many domains	S
Maiden forest and fallow plains	S
He left her a land of many homes	T
The pearl of the world where the sea wind roams	T
nbsp nbsp nbsp And New Zealand went mourning all the way	C
