Walking On The Waves [A] - Skippinish

[Intro]
A D A E
A F#m E A
 
[Verse 1]
                 A                         F#m
An island in the sunlight, laughter in the rain. 
                E                               D
A whisky in the darkness, it all feels just the same.
                      A                                F#m
Watch the sunset over Hynish see the twilight merge to dawn 
                          E                              D
Hear the waves caress the shoreline as the island carries on.
 
[Chorus]
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

[Verse 2]
                          A                                 F#m
There's two lovers on the machair and they walk down to the sand
                             E                            D
Their silhouettes are on the water as they paddle hand in hand.
                          A                                     F#m
And it's a game of sweet surrender when there's nothing left to say 
                           E                               D
And there are moments to remember once these days are long away.
 
[Chorus]
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves

[Verse 3]
*slow*
                       A                               F#m
So you look out on the ocean see the headlands and the strands
                    E                              D
And you wonder what horizons will shape tomorrow's plans
                              A                             F#m
And through the turning of the seasons and the cycle of the days
                      E                           D
Every drink's another reason to let tomorrow sail away.
 
[Chorus]
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D       E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
 
[Break]
A D A E
A F#m E A
 
[Bridge]
*slow*
    D              A          D               A
The surging of the ocean, the breakers on the shore
    Bm                           D                E
The echoes of our bodies, To the lovers’ dream we soar.
 
[Chorus]
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         F#m        D        E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
         A         D             A             E
I've been walking, walking these shores all my days 
         A         F#m       E              A
But with you by my side I am walking on the waves
