Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing -7 -6 -7 5 5 -4 Onward the sailors cry -4 5 -4 6 6 -6 -7 -6 -8 Carry the lad that`s born to be king -7-6 -7 5 5 -4 Over the sea to Skye CHORUS -7 5 -7 -7 -6 5 -6 -6 Loud the winds howl,loud the waves roar 6 5 6 6 6 5 -7 6 -7 -7 Thunder clouds rend the air.Baffled our foes -6 5 -6 -6 6 5 6 6 6 5 stand by the shore. Follow they will not dare VERSE 2 Tho` the waves leap soft shall ye sleep Ocean`s a royal bed Rock`d in the deep. Flora will keep Watch by your weary head 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 CHORUS VERSE4 Burn`d are our homes, exile and death Scatter the loyal men Yet `ere the sword cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again CHORUS |
