[Verse 1]
Dm
Loud the wind howls
Gm
Loud the waves roar
Bb Dm C
Thunderclaps rend the air
Gm
Baffled our foes
Dm
Stand by the shore
Bb C
Follow they will not dare
[Chorus]
F C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm Bb F C
Onward the sailors cry
F C
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Dm Bb C
Over the sea to Skye
[Verse 2]
Dm Gm
Many's the lad fought on that day
Bb Dm C
Well the claymore did wield
Gm
When the night came
Dm
Silently lain
Bb C
Dead on Culloden field
[Chorus]
F C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm Bb F C
Onward the sailors cry
F C
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Dm Bb C
Over the sea to Skye
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Dm
Though the waves heave
Gm
Soft will ye sleep
Bb Dm C
Ocean's a royal bed
Gm
Rocked in the deep
Dm
Flora will keep
Bb C
Watch by your weary head
[Outro]
F C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm Bb F C
Onward the sailors cry
Dm Bb
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Gm C F
Over the sea to Skye
