THE SKYE BOAT SONG Standard Tuning { Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, "Onward!" the sailors cry. Carry the lad that`s born to be King over the sea to Skye. verse 1 Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, thunderclaps rend the air. Baffled our foes stand by the shore, follow they will not dare. Repeat Chorus verse 2 Through the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, ocean`s a royal bed. Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head. Repeat Chorus verse 3 Many`s the lad, fought on that day, well the claymore could wield. When the night came, silently lay, dead on Culloden`s field. Repeat Chorus verse 4 Burned are our homes, exile and death, scatter the loyal men. Yet, o`er the sword, cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again. Repeat Chorus
