[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
In one of these lonely Orkney Isles, there dwelled a maiden fair
Em D C G Am G/B C
Her cheeks were red, her eyes were blue, she had yellow, curling hair
Em D G D Em C
Which caught the eye and then the heart, of one who could never be
Em D C G Am G/B C
A lover of so true a maid or fair a form as she
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
Across the lake in Sandwick dwelled a youth she held most true
Em D C G Am G/B C
And ever since her infancy he had watched these eyes so blue
Em D G D Em C
The land runs out into the sea, it's a narrow neck of land
Em D C G Am G/B C
Where weird and grim the Standing Stones, in a circle where they stand
[Instrumental]
Em D Em C Em D Em C
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
One bonny moonlight Christmas Eve, they met at that sad place
Em D C G Am G/B C
With her heart in glee, the beams of love were shining on her face
Em D G D Em C
When her lover came and he grasped her hand, what loving words they said
Em D C G Am G/B C
They talked of future's happy days as through the stones they strayed
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
They walked toward the lovers' stone and through it passed their hands
Em D C G Am G/B C
They plighted there a constant troth, sealed by love's steadfast bands
Em D G D Em C
He kissed his maid and then he watched her, that lonely bridge go o'er
Em D C G Am G/B C
For little, little did he think, he wouldn't see his darling more
[Chorus]
Em C D Em
Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
C D
Gazing out to sea
Em C D Em
Standing Stones of the Orkney Isles
C D
Bring my love to me
[Instrumental]
Em D Em C Em D Em C
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
He turned his face toward his home, that home he did never see
Em D C G Am G/B C
And you shall have the story as it was told to me
Em D G D Em C
When a form upon him sprang, with a dagger gleaming bright
Em D C G Am G/B C
It pierced his heart and his dying screams disturbed the silent night
[Instrumental]
Em C D Em C D
Em C D Em C D
Em D Em C
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
The maid had nearly reached her home when she was startled by a cry
Em D C G Am G/B C
She turned to look around her and her love was standing by
Em D G D Em C
His hand was pointing to the stars, his eyes gazed at the light
Em D C G Am G/B C
And with a smiling countenance he vanished from her sight
[Verse]
Em D C G Am G/B C
She quickly turned and home she ran, not a word of this was said
Em D C G Am G/B C
For well she knew at seeing his form that her faithful love was dead
Em D G D Em C
And from that day she pined away, not a smile seen on her face
Em D C G Am G/B C
With outstretched arms she went to meet him, in a brighter place
