Dm Am F C
Away to the Westward I'm longing to be
Am C G
Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea
Dm Am F C
Where the sweet purple heather blooms fragrant and free
G F C
On a hill top high above the Dark Island.
=========Chorus:========================================
C F C
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
Am C G
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
Dm Am F C
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
G F C
When I'm back once more upon the Dark Island
========================================================
Dm Am F C
So gentle the sea breeze that ripples the bay
Am C G
Where the stream joins the ocean, and young children play
Dm Am F C
On the strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day
G F C
And I'll roam forever more the Dark Island
(Chorus)
Dm Am F C
True gem of the Hebrides bathed in the light
Am C G
Of the midsummer dawning that follows the night
Dm Am F C
How I yearn for the cries of the seagulls in flight
G F C
As they circle high above the dark island
(Chorus)
C G F C
When I'm back once more upon the Dark Island.
