[Verse 1]
Dm
Loud the wind howls
Gm
Loud the waves roar
Bb                    Dm   C
Thunderclaps rend the air
Gm
Baffled our foes
Dm
Stand by the shore
Bb                   C
Follow they will not dare


[Chorus]
F                        C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm         Bb      F   C
Onward the sailors cry
F                    C
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Dm       Bb     C
Over the sea to Skye


[Verse 2]
Dm             Gm
Many's the lad fought on that day
Bb                    Dm     C
Well the claymore did wield
Gm
When the night came
Dm
Silently lain
Bb               C
Dead on Culloden field


[Chorus]
F                        C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm         Bb      F   C
Onward the sailors cry
F                    C
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Dm       Bb     C
Over the sea to Skye

[Verse 3]
Dm
Though the waves heave
Gm
Soft will ye sleep
Bb              Dm   C
Ocean's a royal bed
Gm
Rocked in the deep
Dm
Flora will keep
Bb                  C
Watch by your weary head


[Outro]
F                        C
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Dm         Bb      F   C
Onward the sailors cry
Dm                   Bb
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Gm       C      F
Over the sea to Skye
