Thread Name: Origins: The Skye Boat Song
Subject: Chords Add: SKYE BOAT SONG
Try these:

Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing

Onward the sailors cry

Carry the lad that's born to be king

Over the sea to Skye

C - G - / C F C G / C - G - / C F C -

Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar

Thunderclouds rend the air

Baffled our foes stand on the shore

Follow they will not dare

Am - Dm - / Am F Am - / Am - Dm - / Am F Am G

If you haven't followed this type of tab before, the chords and dashes each represent the down beats in each line. A dash means that the chord does not change at that downbeat. Experiment and have fun.
