The Skye Boat Song Cifras

[Intro]
C    D  G  C  F  G
 
[Chorus]
C                          Dm          G
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
 C            F       G
"Onward!" the sailors cry
C                      Dm         G
Carry the lad that was born to be king
C        F      G     C G/B
Over the sea to Skye
 
{Verse]
Am                   Dm
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar
Am            F      Am
Thunderclouds in the air
                  Dm
Baffled, our foes stand on the shore
   Am           F        Am  G
To follow, they will not dare__
 
[Chorus]
C                          Dm          G
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
 C            F       G
"Onward!" the sailors cry
C                      Dm         G
Carry the lad that was born to be king
C        F      G     C G/B
Over the sea to Skye
 
{Verse]
Am                     Dm
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep
    Am        F     Am
For ocean's a royal bed
                    Dm
Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep
Am              F     Am  G
Watch o'er your weary head__
 
[Chorus]
C                          Dm          G
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
 C            F       G
"Onward!" the sailors cry
C                      Dm         G
Carry the lad that was born to be king
C        F      G     C G/B
Over the sea to Skye
 
{Verse]
Am                    Dm
Burned are our homes, exile and death
Am          F     Am
Scatter the loyal men
                  Dm
Yet ere the sword sleeps in the sheath
Am                 F     Am    G
Oor Chairlie he'll come again, ohh
 
[Chorus]
C                          Dm          G
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing
 C            F       G
"Onward!" the sailors cry
C                      Dm         G
Carry the lad that was born to be king
C        F      G
Over the sea to Skye
