The Dark Island
Irish Rovers

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)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

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

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
