D D            G G           A A           D D
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
B B F F D D
Onward, the sailors cry.
D D G G A A D D
Carry the lad that's born to be king
B B F F D D
over the sea to Skye.
B B A A
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
G G Em Em
Thunderclaps rend the air,
B B A A
Baffled our foes stand by the shore,
G G Em Em D D
Follow they will not dare.

D D G G A A D D
Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
B B F F D D
Ocean's a royal bed.
D D G G A A D D
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
B B F F D D
Watch o'er your weary head.
B B A A
Burned are our homes, exile and death,
G G Em Em
Scattered the loyal man.
B B A A
Yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath,
G G Em Em G G
Charlie will come again.
