Skye Boat Song Lyrics

Chorus: D A D Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing, G D Onward, the sailors cry. A D Carry the lad that's born to be king G D over the sea to Skye. D Em Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, G Em Thunderclaps rend the air, D Em Baffled our foes stand by the shore, G Em A Follow they will not dare. Cho. D Em Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, G Em Ocean's a royal bed. D Em Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep G Em A Watch o'er your weary head. Cho. D Em Burnt are our homes, exile and death, G Em Scattered the loyal man. D Em Yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath, G Em A Charlie will come again. Cho.
