[Chorus]
C Am/E Dm7 G7 Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, C F C G7 "Onward!" the sailors cry. C Am/E Dm7 G7 Carry the lad that`s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye.
[Verse 1]
Am Dm Am F Am Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, thunderclaps rend the air. Am Dm Am F Am G7 Baffled our foes stand by the shore, follow they will not dare.
[Chorus]
C Am/E Dm7 G7 Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, C F C G7 "Onward!" the sailors cry. C Am/E Dm7 G7 Carry the lad that`s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye.
[Verse 2]
Am Dm Am F Am Through the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, ocean`s a royal bed. Am Dm Am F Am G7 Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head.
[Chorus]
C Am/E Dm7 G7 Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, C F C G7 "Onward!" the sailors cry. C Am/E Dm7 G7 Carry the lad that`s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye.
[Verse 3]
Am Dm Am F Am Many`s the lad, fought on that day, well the claymore could wield. Am Dm Am F Am G7 When the night came, silently lay, dead on Culloden`s field.
[Chorus]
C Am/E Dm7 G7 Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, C F C G7 "Onward!" the sailors cry. C Am/E Dm7 G7 Carry the lad that`s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye.
[Verse 4]
Am Dm Am F Am Burned are our homes, exile and death, scatter the loyal men. Am Dm Am F Am G7 Yet, o`er the sword, cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again.
[Chorus]
C Am/E Dm7 G7 Speed, bonnie boat , like a bird on the wing, C F C G7 "Onward!" the sailors cry. C Am/E Dm7 G7 Carry the lad that`s born to be King C F C over the sea to Skye.
