F C F G
Although I be not comely"

And I am a Silkie in the sea
C G F G
But when I'm far and far frae land
F C G F Am7 F G
My home it is in Sule Skerry____"

Then he's taen oot a purse o' gold

And tak' thee up thy nooris fee___"

But the very first shot that e'er he fires

He'll kill both your young son and me"
