Yeah, but the tune is enough to make your country want to kill itself. probably the only tune in the world that would sound more cheerful if played on the bagpipes.

It comes out with a Scottish accent on the Highland pipes. If you start from C you don't get the high note on "let freedom ring," though it remains recognizable in spite of this. Starting from B, nope -- sounds like some kind of harmony line to the song instead.
