An Cat Dubh - 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.
