Skye Boat Song
Chorus:
[G] Speed bonnie [Em] boat like a [Am] bird on the [D] wing
[G] Onward the [C] sailors [G] cry. [D]
[G] Carry the [Em] lad that's [Am] born to be [D]king
[G] Over the [C] sea to [G] Skye
[Verse 1]
[Em] Loud the wind howls, [Am] loud the waves roar
[Em] Thunderclaps [C] rend the [Em] air
[Em] Baffled, our foes [Am] stand by the shore
[Em] Follow they [C] will not [Em] dare [D]
Chorus:
[G] Speed bonnie [Em] boat like a [Am] bird on the [D] wing
[G] Onward the [C] sailors [G] cry. [D]
[G] Carry the [Em] lad that's [Am] born to be [D]king
[G] Over the [C] sea to [G] Skye
[Verse 2]
[Em] Though the waves heave, [Am] soft shall ye sleep
[Em] Ocean's a [C] royal [Em] bed
[Em] Rocked in the deep, [Am] Flora will keep
[Em] Watch by your [C] weary [Em] head [D]
Chorus:
[G] Speed bonnie [Em] boat like a [Am] bird on the [D] wing

[G] Over the [C] sea to [G] Skye
[Outro, getting slower]
