Misc Traditional – Iona Boat Song (Guitar)

       D         Dmaj7        D7          Dmaj7
Softly glide we along, softly chant we our song,

       G         G/F#          A
For a king who to resting is come;

       D         D/F#         Bm           G
Oh, beloved and best, thou art fairing out west,

       Em         A          D
To the dear isle Iona, thy home.

       D               Dmaj7          D7          Dmaj7
Calmly there shalt thou lie, with thy fathers gone by,

       G             G/F#            A
Their blood mingled deep with thine own;

        D        D/F#          Bm              G
Ne’er again to awake, till the last morn shall break,

        Em            A             D
And the trump of the judgment is blown.
