Skye Boat Song

THE SKYE BOAT SONG   

Standard Tuning    


{C}             Am/E         Dm7         G7   
Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing,   
C             F       C    G7   
"Onward!" the sailors cry.   
C          Am/E      Dm7        G7   
Carry the lad that`s born to be King   
C        F        C   
over the sea to Skye.   

verse 1   
Am                   Dm                   Am           F        Am   
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, thunderclaps rend the air.   
Am               Dm                  Am          F        Am    G7   
Baffled our foes stand by the shore, follow they will not dare.   

Repeat Chorus   

verse 2   
Am                      Dm                   Am        F     Am   
Through the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, ocean`s a royal bed.   
Am                  Dm              Am            F     Am     G7   
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head.       
           
Repeat Chorus   

verse 3    
Am              Dm                  Am           F          Am   
Many`s the lad, fought on that day, well the claymore could wield.   
Am                   Dm            Am          F       Am     G7   
When the night came, silently lay, dead on Culloden`s field.   
    
Repeat Chorus   
    
verse 4   
Am                    Dm               Am          F     Am   
Burned are our homes, exile and death, scatter the loyal men.   
Am                   Dm                  Am           F      Am   G7   
Yet, o`er the sword, cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again.   
    
Repeat Chorus
