G C C D

B Em C D

[Spoken Word: Jude Law]

G G
A chieftain to the Highlands bound

C C
Cries, "Boatman, do not tarry

C C
And I'll give thee a silver pound

D D
To row us o’er the ferry"

B B
"Now who be ye would cross Lochgyle

Em Em
This dark and stormy water?"

C C
"O, I'm the chief of Ulva's isle

D D
And this, Lord Ullin’s daughter."

G G
And fast before her father's men

C C
Three days we've fled together

C C
For should he find us in the glen

D D
My blood would stain the heather

B B
His horsemen, hard behind us ride

Em Em
Should they our steps discover

C C
Then who will cheer my bonny bride

D D
When they have slain her lover?

G G
Out spoke the hardy Highland wight

C C
"I'll go, my chief, I'm ready"

C C
It is not for your silver bright

D D
But for your winsome lady

B B
"And by my word, the bonny bird

Em Em
In danger shall not tarry

C C
So though the waves are raging white

D
I'll row you o'er the ferry"

[Bridge]

G G
By this the storm grew loud apace

C C
The water-wraith was shrieking

C C
And in the scowl of heaven, each face

D D
Grew dark as they were speaking

B B
But still, as wild blew the wind

Em Em
And as the night grew drearer

C C
Adown the glen rode armed men

D D
Their trampling sounded nearer
