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

Am                   Dm                    Am         F       Am
Loud the winds howl loud the waves roar thunderclaps rend the air
Am               Dm                  Am          F        Am     G
Baffled our foes stand by the shore follow they will not dare

C             Am          Dm          G
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
C            F      G
Onward the sailors cry

Am                      Dm                   Am        F       Am
Through the waves leap soft shall ye sleep ocean s a royal bed
Am                  Dm              Am            F     Am     G
Rocked in the deep Flora will keep watch by your weary head

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
C            F       G
Onward' the sailors cry
