The Skye Boat Song

**Chords:**
G  C  G  D

G               C          G  
Speed, bonnie boat, like a bird on the wing,  
G               C          G    D   
Onward, the sailors cry.  
G              C          G  
Carry the lad that's born to be king,  
G        C        G   D  
Over the sea to Skye.  

G              C         G  
Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,  
G               C        G    D   
Thunderclaps rend the sky.  
G              C          G  
They'll get home 'ere the sun sets in store,  
G        C        G   D  
Over the sea to Skye.  

G          C        G  
Though the waves leap and the stormy winds blow,  
G               C        G    D   
Stormy or calm in the sky,  
G              C          G  
They'll get home 'ere the sun sets in store,  
G        C        G   D  
Over the sea to Skye.
