[Verse 1]
[G]Speed, bonnie boat,
like a [D]bird on the wind,
[G]Onward the [C]sailors [G]cry.[D]
[G]Carry the lad that's [D]born to be king
[G]over the [C]sea to the [G]sky.
[Em]Loud the winds howl,
[Am]loud the waves roar,
[C]thunderclaps rend the [Em]air.
Stand by the shore, [Am]baffle our foes,
follow [C]they would ne [Em]'er dare.[D]
[G]Speed by board,
like a [D]bird on the wind,
[G]onward the [C]sailors [G]cry.[D]
[G]Carry a lad that's [D]born to be king
[G]over the [C]sea to the [G]sky.
[Em]Through the waves leap,
[Am]soft shall ye sleep,
[C]ocean's a royal [Em]bed.
Rocked in the deep,
[Am]Flora will keep
[C]Watch o 'er your weary [Em]head[D]
[G]Speed on board,
like a [D]bird on the wing
On[G]ward the [C]sailors [G]cry
[D]Carry [G]the lad that's bor[D]n to be king,
[G]over the [C]sea to [G]sky.
[Em]Many's a lad fough[Am]t on that day,
[C]well the claymore could [Em]wield.
When the night came,
si[Am]lent day lay dead
[C]on Culloden's fie[Em]ld.[D]
[G]Speed by boat, like [D]a bird on the wing,
[G]onward the [C]sailors [G]cry.
[D]Carry [G]the land that's bor[D]n to be king,
[G]over the [C]sea to [G]sky.
[Em]Burned are our homes,
[Am]exile and death,
[C]scatter the loyal [Em]men.
Yet o 'er the sword,
[Am]cool with the sheath,
[C]Charlie will come [Em]again.[D]
[G]Speed, bonnie boat,
like [D]a bird on the wing,
[G]Onward the [C]sailors [G]cry.
[D]Car[G]ry the lad that's bor[D]n to be king
[G]Over the [C]sea to [G]Skye.
Speed, muddy boat,
like [D]a bat on the wing
[G]Honor the [C]sailor's cry.
[G]I
