Guitar chords with lyrics

Key: EbChorus:
Eb                       Bb
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Eb         Ab      Eb    Bb
Onward the sailors cry
Eb                   Bb
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Eb       Ab     Eb    Bb
Over the sea to Skye



♫ Verse 1:
Eb                   Bb
Loud the wind howls, loud the waves roar
Cm           G#       Cm
Thunderclaps rend the air
Eb                Bb
Baffled our foes, stand by the shore
Cm          G#       Cm   Bb
Follow they will not dare

Chorus:
Eb                       Bb
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Eb         Ab      Eb    Bb
Onward the sailors cry
Eb                   Bb
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Eb       Ab     Eb    Bb
Over the sea to Skye

♫ Verse 2:
Eb             Bb
Many's the lad fought on that day
Cm       G#           Cm
Well the claymore did wield
Eb                   Bb
When the night came, silently lain
Cm      G#       Cm    Bb
Dead on Culloden field


♫ Chorus:
Eb                       Bb
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Eb         Ab      Eb    Bb
Onward the sailors cry

Carry the lad that's born to be king
Eb       Ab     Eb    Bb
Over the sea to Skye

♫ Verse 3:
Eb                     Bb
Though the waves leap, soft will ye sleep
Cm        G#    Cm
Ocean's a royal bed
Eb                  Bb
Rocked in the deep, flora will keep
Cm            G#     Cm   Bb
Watch by your weary head


♫ Chorus:
Eb                       Bb
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Eb         Ab      Eb    Bb
Onward the sailors cry
Eb                   Bb
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Eb       Ab     Eb    Bb
Over the sea to Skye
