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
[Break]
A D A E
A F#m E A
[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
[Break]
A D A E
A F#m E A
[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
