"Dm"A3FA2 | A6 | "Gm"G3DG2 | G6 | "Dm"F3DF2 | "Bb"F4F2 | "Dm"D6 | "(C7)"z6 :|
w: 1.~Though the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, O-cean's a roy-al bed.
w:~~~~Rocked in the deep, Flo-ra will keep Watch by your wear-y head.
w: 2.~Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, Thun-der-claps rend the air;
w: ~Baf-fled, our foes stand by the shore, Fol-low they will not dare.
w: 3.~Ma-ny's the lad fought on that day, Well the clay-more could wield,
w: ~When the night came, si-lent-ly lay Dead on Cul-lo-den's field.
w: 4.~Burned are their homes, ex-ile and death Scat-ter the loy-al men;
w: ~Yet ere the sword cool in the sheath Char-lie will come a-gain.
