D D            Bm Bm          Em Em          A A
Speed bonnie boat like a bird on the wing
Bm Bm G G A A
Onward the sailors cry
D D Bm Bm Em Em A A
Carry the lad that's born to be king
Bm Bm G G A A
over the sea to Skye
D D Em Em
Loud the winds howl loud the waves roar
Bm Bm G G
Thunderclaps rend the air
D D Em Em
Baffled our foes stand by the shore
Bm Bm G G Em Em
Follow they will not dare

D D Bm Bm Em Em A A
Though the waves leap soft shall ye sleep
Bm Bm G G A A
Ocean's a royal bed
D D Bm Bm Em Em A A
Rock'd in the deep Flora will keep
Bm Bm G G A A
Watch o'er your weary head
D D Em Em
Burned are our homes exile and death
Bm Bm G G
Scattered the loyal man
D D Em Em
Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath
Bm Bm G G Em Em
Charlie will come again

Not accurate enough, chords unnecessarily difficult, dur chords instead of moll. Poor.
