Chords
Note that the verses use only the D chord through the entire verse.
It seems odd to read but if you try singing it, it works.
Watch Roy play it if you need an idea of the rhythym.
I've included both the English (Kishmul's Galley) and the Scots Gaelic
(A' Bhirlinn Bharrach) lyrics.

Kishmul's Galley
D
High on the BennachieOn a day of days
Seaward I gazed,
Watching Kishmul's galley sailing.
G D o hi-o hu-o A A7 D fal-hi-o-hu-o
Bravely 'gainst wind and tide,
They've brought her to
Neath Kishmul's walls,
Kishmul Castle, our ancient glory.
G D o hi-o hu-o A A7 D fal-hi-o-hu-o
Here's red wine and feast for heros
And harping too,
and harping too,
watching Kishmul's galley sailing
G D o hi-o hu-o A A7 D fal-hi-o-hu-o

A' Bhirlinn Bharrach (The Barra Galley)
D
Latha dhomh am Beinn a' Cheathaich Air fal-il-o o-i-o-u

Gun cheann cumail air a h-acair

G D o hi-o hu-o A A7 D fal-hi-o-hu-o D 'Steach gu Ceisemul an athair
Air fal-il-o, no rion-a-so
Far am faighteadh cuirm ri gabhail

Is clarsach bhinn 'ga gleusadh marris
