[INTRO]
A[Am]way to the[Em] west ward I'm[C] longing to[G] be,
Where the beauties of[Em] heaven un[G]fold by the[D] sea
Where the[Am] sweet purple[Em] heather blooms[C] fragrant and[G] free
On a hilltop high a[D]bove The Dark[C] I[G]sland
[CHORUS]
Oh, [G]isle of my childhood, I'm[C] dreaming of[G] thee,
As the steamer leaves[Em] Oban and[G] passes Ti[D]ree
Soon I'll[Am] capture the[Em] magic that[C] lingers for[G] me
When I'm back once more u[D]pon The Dark[C] Is[G]land
[VERSE]
So[Am] gentle the[Em] sea breeze that[C] ripples the[G] bay
Where the stream joins the[Em] ocean and[G] young children[D] play
On the[Am] strand of pure[Em] silver I'll[C] welcome each[G] day
And I'll roam forever[D] more The Dark[C] Is[G]land
[CHORUS]
Oh, [G]isle of my childhood, I'm[C] dreaming of[G] thee,
As the steamer leaves[Em] Oban and[G] passes Ti[D]ree
Soon I'll[Am] capture the[Em] magic that[C] lingers for[G] me
When I'm back once more u[D]pon The Dark[C] Is[G]land
[VERSE]
True[Am] gems of the[Em] Hebrides[C] bathed in the[G] light
Of the mid-summer[Em] dawning that[G] follows the [D]night
How I[Am] yearn for the[Em] cries of the[C] seagull in[G] flight
As they circle high a[D]bove The Dark[C] Is[G]land
[OUTRO]
Oh, [G]isle of my childhood, I'm[C] dreaming of[G] thee,
