letra de skye boat song - celtic folk
the skye boat song 14
chorus:
d a d
speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing,
g d
onward, the sailors cry.
a d
carry the lad that’s born to be king
g d
over the sea to skye.
d em
loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar,
g em
thunderclaps rend the air,
d em
baffled our foes stand by the sh-r-,
g em a
follow they will not dare.
cho.
d em
though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep,
g em
ocean’s a royal bed.
d em
rock’d in the deep flora will keep
g em a
watch o’er your weary head.
cho.
d em
burnt are our homes, exile and death,
g em
scattered the loyal man.
d em
yet ere the sword, cool in the sheath,
g em a
charlie will come again.
cho.
