[Verse]
AmBring to me the morning
And the dawning of the day
Speed uFp the sun and fCorward turn
The clAmocks that slow our Emway
Bring dAmown the moon and shining stars
And hold the night time long
Wake uFp the larks and Cbittern, start
To sAming tomEmorrow's sAmong
[Verse]
Get the Amferry, set for sea
As Amfast as can be done
Let gFo the ropes and fCree our hopes
Of Amwestern skies to cEmome
The riAmsing sun to starboard
As the boat leaves Oban Bay
Our hoFmeland dreams reCturn in streams
And fAmill the dEmawning Amday
[Chorus]
For CI want to go
Where the great Atlantic rAmoars
From the clFiffs of KennavCara
To maDmjestic SkerryvGore
And brCeathe again the air
My island body cAmraves
And fFeel again the fCreedom
Of the lGand below the wCaves
[Verse]
Like bAmarley in the wind
We've been scaAmttered far and thin
From the crFuelty of the ClCearance
To the pAmressures we live Emin
No mAmatter where we roam
Over land or over foam
The iFsland pulls the chCildren
Of the Ambarley to Emcome hAmome
[Verse]
See Ben AmHynish and Ben Hough
And the Amearly morning glow
Then hFouses rising fCrom the sea
As lAmand begins to Emshow
You kAmnow you're homeward bound
Steaming by the Gunna Sound
With pFassion then you sCtand again
UpAmon your iEmsland gAmround
[Chorus]
For CI want to go
Where the great Atlantic rAmoars
From the clFiffs of KennavCara
To maDmjestic SkerryvGore
And brCeathe again the air
My island body cAmraves
And fFeel again the fCreedom
Of the lGand below the wCaves
[Verse]
The iAmsland of Tiree
And its lAmand and soil and sea
Goes tFhrough the bone like fCire and stone
And Amwho you're born to Embe
On the wAmorld's fickle face
Unyielding anchors to a place
The gFuiding star of wCho you are
Your Ampeople Emand your Amrace
[Verse]
Stand on KenovAmay
Or the shAmores of Hudson Bay
The wFilds of ArgentCina
Or New ZAmealand's earth and Emclay
Our sAmeeds are growing wide
But the roots of island pride
Will bFring us all toCgether
On the Amflooding Emof the Amtide
[Chorus]
And CI want to go
Where the great Atlantic rAmoars
From the clFiffs of KennavCara
To maDmjestic SkerryvGore
And brCeathe again the air
My island body cAmraves
And fFeel again the fCreedom
Of the lGand below the wCaves
[Chorus]
For CI want to go
Where the great Atlantic rAmoars
From the clFiffs of KennavCara
To maDmjestic SkerryvGore
And brCeathe again the air
My island body cAmraves
And fFeel again the fCreedom
Of the lGand below the wCaves

[Verse]

Bring to me the morning

And the dawning of the day

F C

Speed up the sun and forward turn

Am Em

The clocks that slow our way

Bring down the moon and shining stars

And hold the night time long

F C

Wake up the larks and bittern, start

Am Em Am

To sing tomorrow's song

[Verse]

Get the ferry, set for sea

As fast as can be done

F C

Let go the ropes and free our hopes

Am Em

Of western skies to come

The rising sun to starboard

As the boat leaves Oban Bay

F C

Our homeland dreams return in streams

Am Em Am

And fill the dawning day

[Chorus]

For I want to go

Where the great Atlantic roars

F C

From the cliffs of Kennavara

Dm G

To majestic Skerryvore

And breathe again the air

My island body craves

F C

And feel again the freedom

G C

Of the land below the waves

[Verse]

Like barley in the wind

We've been scattered far and thin

F C

From the cruelty of the Clearance

Am Em

To the pressures we live in

No matter where we roam

Over land or over foam

F C

The island pulls the children

Am Em Am

Of the barley to come home

[Verse]

See Ben Hynish and Ben Hough

And the early morning glow

F C

Then houses rising from the sea

Am Em

As land begins to show

You know you're homeward bound

Steaming by the Gunna Sound

F C

With passion then you stand again

Am Em Am

Upon your island ground

[Chorus]

For I want to go

Where the great Atlantic roars

F C

From the cliffs of Kennavara

Dm G

To majestic Skerryvore

And breathe again the air

My island body craves

F C

And feel again the freedom

G C

Of the land below the waves

[Verse]

The island of Tiree

And its land and soil and sea

F C

Goes through the bone like fire and stone

Am Em

And who you're born to be

On the world's fickle face

Unyielding anchors to a place

F C

The guiding star of who you are

Am Em Am

Your people and your race

[Verse]

Stand on Kenovay

Or the shores of Hudson Bay

F C

The wilds of Argentina

Am Em

Or New Zealand's earth and clay

Our seeds are growing wide

But the roots of island pride

F C

Will bring us all together

Am Em Am

On the flooding of the tide

[Chorus]

And I want to go

Where the great Atlantic roars

F C

From the cliffs of Kennavara

Dm G

To majestic Skerryvore

And breathe again the air

My island body craves

F C

And feel again the freedom

G C

Of the land below the waves

[Chorus]

For I want to go

Where the great Atlantic roars

F C

From the cliffs of Kennavara

Dm G

To majestic Skerryvore

And breathe again the air

My island body craves

F C

And feel again the freedom

G C

Of the land below the waves
