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
