Fishermans Lament Lyrics

Fishermans Lament lyrics

Refrain:

d F C d 

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on a wing,

d F
B C

Onwards the seagulls cry,

d F C d 

Speed bonnie boat as
fast as the wind

B C d

Over the sea to Skye.



Strophe:

d F C d

The morning tide takes me away

d F B C

Into the early twilight,

d F C d

And all I can hear is the sound
of the sea,

B C

Far away from home.



Refrain:

Strophe:

There4s one bonnie lass awaiting me

Far on the distant
shore.

The wind and the sea will be good to me,

Then I see her once
more.



Refrain:

Solo: G d G d F C d

Strophe:

Culloden's Field is now in sight

And darkness hangs above me.

White horses dance and the wind blows hard

Along the way to Skye.
