[Verse 1]
[D]Speed bonnie boat,
[Bm]like a [Em]bird on the [A]wing!
[D]"Onward!" [G]the sailors [D]cry
Carry [Bm]the lad, that's [Em]born to be [A]king
[D]Over the [G]sea [D]to Skye![A]
[Bm]Loud the winds howl,
[Em]Loud the waves roar
[Bm]Thunder claps [G]rend the [Bm]air
Baffled our foes [Em]stand by the shore
[Bm]Follow they [G]will not [Bm]dare![A]
[D]Speed bonnie [Bm]boat,
like a [Em]bird on the [A]wing!
[D]"Onward!" [G]the sailors [D]cry
Carry [Bm]the lad, that's [Em]born to be [A]king
[D]Over [G]the sea [D]to Skye!
[Bm]Though the waves leap,
[Em]soft shall ye sleep
[Bm]Ocean's a [G]royal [Bm]bed
Rocked in the deep, [Em]flora will keep
[Bm]Watch [G]by your weary [Bm]head.[A]
[D]Speed bonnie [Bm]boat,
like a [Em]bird on the [A]wing!
[D]"Onward!" [G]the sailors [D]cry
Carry [Bm]the lad, [Em]that's born to be [A]king
[D]Over [G]the sea [D]to Skye![G]
[Bm]Many's the lad, [Em]fought on that day
[Bm]Well the [G]claymore [Bm]could
[Em]weil[Bm]d[Em]
[Bm]When the night came, [Em]si lently lay
[Bm]Dead on Cul[G]loden's [Bm]feild[A]
[D]Speed bonnie [Bm]boat,
like a [Em]bird on the [A]wing!
[D]"Onward!" [G]the sailors [D]cry
Carry [Bm]the lad, that's [Em]born to be [A]king
[D]Over [G]the sea [D]to Skye!
[Bm]Burned are our [Em]homes, exile and death
Scat[Bm]ter the [G]royal [Bm]men
Yet ere [Em]the sword cool in the sheath
[Bm]Charlie will [G]come [Bm]again[A]
[D]Speed bonnie [Bm]boat,
like a [Em]bird on the [A]wing!
[D]"Onward!" [G]the sailors [D]cry
Carry [Bm]the lad, that's [Em]born to be [A]king
[D]Over [G]the sea [D]to Skye!
Over [G]the sea to [D]Skye!
Over [G]the sea to [D]Skye![Em]
