[Intro]
Am Em C G Away to the west ward I'm longing to be, Em G D Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea Am Em C G Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free D C G On a hilltop high above The Dark Island
[Chorus]
G C G Oh, isle of my childhood, I'm dreaming of thee, Em G D As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree Am Em C G Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me D C G When I'm back once more upon The Dark Island
[Verse]
Am Em C G So gentle the sea breeze that ripples the bay Em G D Where the stream joins the ocean and young children play Am Em C G On the strand of pure silver I'll welcome each day D C G And I'll roam forever more The Dark Island
[Chorus]
G C G Oh, isle of my childhood, I'm dreaming of thee, Em G D As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree Am Em C G Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me D C G When I'm back once more upon The Dark Island
[Verse]
Am Em C G True gems of the Hebrides bathed in the light Em G D Of the mid-summer dawning that follows the night Am Em C G How I yearn for the cries of the seagull in flight D C G As they circle high above The Dark Island
[Outro]
G C G Oh, isle of my childhood, I'm dreaming of thee, Em G D As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree Am Em C G Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me D C G When I'm back once more upon The Dark Island
