[Bm]
Away [F#m] to the westward I'm longing to [A] be, Where the beauties of heaven unfold by [F#m] the
[Bm] sea, Where the sweet [F#m] purple heather [D] blooms fragrant and [A] free.
On the hilltop high [E] above the [D] dark [A] island, Oh, I will love my [D] childhood, I'm dreaming [A] of thee.
As the steamer leaves open and the grasses [Bm] tidy,
Soon I [F#m] capture the [D] magic that lingers [A] for me.
When I'm back [E] once more upon [D] the dark [Bm] [A] island, [Bm] So gentle [F#m] the sea [D] breeze that ripples [A] the
bay, Where the stream joins the ocean and [F#m] young
[Bm] children play.
On the strand [F#m] of pure silver [D] I'll welcome [A] each day,
And I'll roam [E] forevermore [D] that dark [A] [Bm] [A] island.
Oh, I will love my childhood, [D] I'm dreaming [A] of thee.
As the steamer leaves open and the grasses [Bm] tidy,
Soon I [F#m] capture the [D] magic that lingers [A] for me.
When I'm back [E] once more upon the [D] dark [A] island,
[Bm] True gem [F#m] of the [D] Hebrides, laden [A] in delight,
Of the midsummer dawning that [Bm] follows the night,
How I yearn for [F#m] the cries [D] of the sailors [A] in flight.
On the [E] hilltop high above the [D] dark [A] island, Oh, I will love my childhood, [D] I'm dreaming [A] of thee.
