Voice Of My Island chords by Gaberlunzie

Verse 1:

G           D          Em           C
Sad is my heart as I stand on the shore

G                             C         D
Thinking of friends who will see me no more

G              D              Em        C
Watching the waves as they thunder and roar

     G              D          C  G
And sing with the voice of my island

Chorus:

D                       G
Mull of my heart, my island my home

      C         G             Em          D
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam

     G           D              Em         C
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn

No more I'll return to my island

Bunessan's bold beauty to history clings

          G                   C       D
While Fionnphort guard fair Iona of kings

          G              D           Em      C
O'er the high rocks of Gribun the peregrine wings

And sings with the voice of my island

No more I'll return to my island

G                 D              Em        C
From Dervaig to Salen, where friendships abound

       G                        C            D
Let mighty Ben More guard the peace that I found

            G            D          Em           C
Where the Forsa's dark waters pour down to the sound

And sing with the voice of my island

D                       G
Mull of my heart, my island my home

How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam

No more I'll return to my island

Verse 4:

G                  D        Em     C
But now I stand silent on Calgary Bay

      G                          C        D
The mighty ships waiting their anchor to weigh

    G               D          Em           C
We sail for the west-land at  break of the day

     G              D          C  G
Far away from the voice of my island

Chorus:

 D                       G
Mull of my heart, my island my home

      C         G             Em          D
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam

     G           D              Em        C
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn

    G           D         C   G
No more I'll return to my island


Verse 5:

G               D              Em           C
Years have gone by cause they never stand still

     G                             C            D
The wild winds have crumbled the crofts on the hill

     G            D            Em           C
The old folk are gone but the young lingers on

     G              D             C  G
And thrill to the voice of their island

Chorus:

D                       G
Mull of my heart, my island my home

      C         G             Em          D
How cruel the hand that has forced us to roam

     G           D             Em         C
Farewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn

    G           D         C   G
No more I'll return to my island
