Dark Island
C F C
Away to the Westward I'm longing to be

Where the beauties of heaven unfold by the sea

Where the sweet purple heather runs fragrant and free
C G7 C
On a hill top high above the Dark Island.
C F C
Oh Isle of my childhood I'm dreaming of thee
C Em C G
As the steamer leaves Oban and passes Tiree
G C F/C C
Soon I'll capture the magic that lingers for me
C G7 C
When I'm back once more upon the Dark Island
C F C
So gentle the sea breeze that ripples the bay
C Em C G
Where the stream joins the ocean, and young children play
G C F/C C
On the strand of pure silver, I'll welcome each day
C G7 C
And I'll roam forever more the Dark Island

True gem of the Hebrides bathed in the light
C Em C G
Of the midsummer dawning that follows the night

How I yearn for the cries of the seagulls in flight

As they circle high above the Dark Island
