Skye Boat Song

C Am Dm G Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing C F C G Onward' the sailors cry C Am Dm G Carry the lad that's born to be king C F C Over the sea to Skye Am Dm Am F Am Loud the winds howl loud the waves roar thunderclaps rend the air Am Dm Am F Am G Baffled our foes stand by the shore follow they will not dare C Am Dm G Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing C F G Onward the sailors cry C Am Dm G Carry the lad that s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye Many`s the lad fought on that day Well the clay-more could wield When the night came, si-lent-ly lay Dead on Cul-lo-den`s field Chorus Am Dm Am F Am Through the waves leap soft shall ye sleep ocean s a royal bed Am Dm Am F Am G Rocked in the deep Flora will keep watch by your weary head C Am Dm G Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing C F G Onward' the sailors cry C Am Dm G Carry the lad that s born to be king C F C over the sea to Skye Burned are our homes, ex-ile and death Scat-tered the lo-yal men Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath Char-lie will come again
