Richard Thompson – Mingulay Boat Song (Guitar)

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

          G7                  F
Heave her head round into the weather

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

        G7               C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

          C
What care we how white the Minch is?

          G7                  F
What care we, boys, for windy weather?

        C
When we know that every inch is

          G7               C
Close, so homeward to Mingulay

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

          G7                  F
Heave her head round into the weather

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

        G7               C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

          C
Wives are waiting at the pier head

       G7               F
Gazing seaward from the heather

          C
Heave her head round and we'll anchor

        G7               C
Ere the sun sets on Mingulay

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

          G7                  F
Heave her head round into the weather

       C
Ill ya ho, boys, let him go, boys

        G7               C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay

        G7               C
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
