The Skye Boat Song

[G]Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

[Em]Say, could that lass be [D]I?

[G]Merry of soul she sailed on a day

[Em]Over the sea to [D]Skye

 

[Em]Mull was astern, [D]Rum on the port

[Em]Eigg on the [C]starboard [Em]bow: [C]

[Em]Glory of youth [D]glowed in her soul:

[Em]Where is that [C]glory [Em]now? [D]

 

[G]Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

[Em]Say, could that lass be [D]I?

[G]Merry of soul she sailed on a day

[Em]Over the sea to [D]Skye

 

[Em]Give me again [D]all that was there

[Em]Give me the [C]sun that [B7]shone

[Em]Give me the eyes, [Am]give me the soul

[Bm]Give me the lass that's [Em]gone.

 

[G]Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

[Em]Say, could that lass be [D]I?

[G]Merry of soul she sailed on a day

[Em]Over the sea to [D]Skye

 

[Em]Billow and breeze, [D]islands and seas

[Em]Mountains of [C]rain and [Em]sun [C]

[Em]All that was good, [D]all that was fair

[Em]All that was [C]me is [Em]gone. [D]

 

[G]Sing me a song of a lass that is gone

[Em]Say, could that lass be [D]I?

[G]Merry of soul she sailed on a day

[Em]Over the sea to [D]Skye
