G Em
Oh, a far croonin' is pullin' me away,
C D
as take I wi' my cromack to the road.
G Em C
The far Coolins are puttin' love on me,
G D G
as step I wi' the sunlight for my load.
[Chorus]
G Em
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go,
C D
or by heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles.
G Em C
And if it’s thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step,
G D G
you've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles.
G D Em C
Oh, the far Coolins are puttin' love on me,
G D D7 G
as step I wi' my cromack to the Isles.
[Verse 2]
G Em
For the Shiel water the track is to the west,
C D
by Aillort and by Morar to the sea,
G Em C
the cool cresses I am thinkin' of for pluck,
G D G
and bracken for a wink on Mother knee.
[Chorus]
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go,
C D
or by heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles.
G Em C
And if it’s thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step,
G D G
you've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles.
G D Em C
Oh, the far Coolins are puttin' love on me,
G D D7 G
as step I wi' my cromack to the Isles.
[Verse 3]
G Em
Oh, the blue islands are pullin' me away,
C D
their laughter puts the leap upon the lame.
G Em C
The blue islands from the Skerries to the Lewis
G D G
wi' heather honey taste upon each name.
[Chorus]
Sure by Tummel and Loch Rannoch and Lochaber I will go,
C D
or by heather tracks wi' heaven in their wiles.
G Em C
And if it’s thinkin' in your inner heart the braggart's in my step,
G D G
you've never smelled the tangle o' the Isles.
G D Em C
Oh, the far Coolins are puttin' love on me,
G D D7 G
as step I wi' my cromack to the Isles.
