A chieftain to the Highlands bound
        C               C
Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry
    C                             C
And I'll give thee a silver pound
   D               D
To row us o’er the ferry"
     B                            B
"Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle
    Em                     Em
This dark and stormy water?"
     C                          C
"O, I'm the chief of Ulva's isle
     D                     D
And this, Lord Ullin’s daughter."
      G                         G
And fast before her father's men
      C                       C
Three days we've fled together
     C                      C
For should he find us in the glen
    D                    D
My blood would stain the heather
    B                        B
His horsemen, hard behind us ride
      Em                       Em
Should they our steps discover
     C                            C
Then who will cheer my bonny bride
     D                        D
When they have slain her lover?
    G                G
Out spoke the hardy Highland wight
     C                  C
"I'll go, my chief, I'm ready"
      C                   C
It is not for your silver bright
Continues after the ad
    D                 D
But for your winsome lady
    B                        B
"And by my word, the bonny bird
    Em                    Em
In danger shall not tarry
   C                         C
So though the waves are raging white
     D
I'll row you o'er the ferry"

    G                   G
By this the storm grew loud apace
    C                 C
The water-wraith was shrieking
    C                      C
And in the scowl of heaven, each 
face
     D                         D
Grew dark as they were speaking
   B              B
But still, as wild blew the wind
    Em                       Em
And as the night grew drearer
   C                  C
Adown the glen rode armed men
      D                D
Their trampling sounded nearer

[Verse]
    G                       G
"O haste thee, haste!" the lady 
cries
        C                 C
"Though tempests round us gather
     C                      C
I'll meet the raging of the skies
    D                    D
And not an angry father"
     B                     B
The boat has left a stormy land
     Em                 Em
A stormy sea before her
      C                   C
When, oh! Too strong for human hand
     D                  D
The tempest gathered o’er her
    G                              
And still they rowed amidst the 
  G
roar
   C                C
Of waters fast prevailing
     C                     C
Lord Ullin reached that fatal shore
    D                    D
His wrath was changed to wailing
    B                      B
For sore dismayed, through storm and
 shade
    Em                   Em
His child, he did discover
    C                C
One lovely hand she stretched for 
aid
     D                D
And one was round her lover
      G                     G
"Come back! Come back!" he cried in 
grief
   C                     C
"Across this stormy water
    C                     C
And I’ll forgive your Highland chief
   D                D
My daughter! Oh, my daughter!"
      B                     B
'Twas vain, the loud waves lash’d 
the shore
  Em                    Em
Return or aid preventing
    C                 C
The waters wild went o'er his child
     D             D
And he was left lamenting
