Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#][E][Ebm]
[Asus4][D]
Flannan Isle lies [A]in the South by the

[Verse 1]
[G]
Point [A]of Kedgeree[D]
[A]47 miles from land in the [G]roughest
part [A]of the sea[D][A]
(Oh) on the [G]finest day,
[A]the sea [D]is black[A]
[G](Oh) they say no one has [A]ever come
back from [D]there
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 2]
[A]
They say the wicked spir[G]its haunt
the lighthouse in [F#m]the night[Esus4][E][A]
Fierce ghosts of many [G]men who tried to stop
the warning [F#m]light[Esus4][E][B]
Waves are hurled [C#m]again
st the ugly rock[G]s
Spray is changed at [Em]once to a wall of [B]ice
Bird who wants to [C#m]rest its
tired [G]wings
Lands, and it is [Em]turned to a dummy of [F#]stone
[E][F#][Ebm]

[Verse 3]
[Asus4]The island's ro[D]cks have
[A]many caves [G]that smell of dying [Em]flesh
They [D]lure the strangers [A]to their maze
of [G]never ending [A]length
[D](Oh) the [A]emp[G]ty cave
[A]is filled with sound
[D](Oh) a [A]mad[G] man lying in[A]
the ground be[D]low
[Esus4][E]

[Verse 4]
[A]
Each month a boat [G]is sucked to perish
by the rocky [F#m]isle[Esus4][E][A]
Each time the moon is [G]full,
the currents are directed [F#]there[F#m][Esus4][E][B]
Boats that sail too [C#m]near to Flannan Isle
[G]Feel the weather cha[Em]nge
and they turn [B]away
If they dare to [C#m]look behind them, still
[G]Screams of disappoi[Em]ntment
fill the [F#]air
