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