Tom: Bb
Bb
[Verse]
Bb Eb
There are stories I've heard told
Gm F
Of an unfamiliar road
Gm Eb
Where an evening sun hangs gold
Bb F
In the skyline
Bb Eb
In a quiet, unknown town
Gm F
There is solace to be found
Gm Eb
In the unforsaken hours
Bb F Gm
Of the twilight
[Bridge]
Eb Bb F Gm
There's a girl, and I can see her
Eb Bb F
Far away from this frontier
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Verse]
Bb Eb
On an evening in July
Gm F
'neath the red Lochaber sky
Gm Eb
She smiled and closed her eyes
Bb F
On my shoulder
Bb Eb
Now I'm a million miles from home
Gm F
From the girl I call my own
Gm Eb
And I'm dreaming all alone
Bb F Gm
Just to hold her
[Bridge]
Eb Bb F Gm
As I look into the water
Eb Bb F
I see her standing at the alter
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Verse]
Bb Eb
Nail your colours to the mast
Gm F
In the footsteps of the past
Gm Eb
And when you breath your last
Bb F
Life's returning
Bb Eb
For when the sun sets on the years
Gm F
All the miles and all the fears
Gm Eb
A world away from here
Bb F Gm
It's the morning
[Bridge]
Eb Bb F Gm
In my mind I see her smile
Eb Bb F
Where the tide lines grace the isle
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
[Chorus]
Bb F
Cause I want to dance with a Highland girl
Gm Eb
Where the skies reach out for miles
F Gm
I want to feel the breeze of the Hebrides
Eb Bb
On the far side of the world
