G           D          Em           CSad is my heart as I stand on the shore
G                             C         DThinking of friends who will see me no more
G              D              Em        CWatching the waves as they thunder and roar

      C         G             Em          DHow cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
     G           D              Em         CFarewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn

          G                   C       DWhile Fionnphort guard fair Iona of kings
          G              D           Em      CO'er the high rocks of Gribun the peregrine wings

[Verse 3]
G                 D              Em        CFrom Dervaig to Salen, where friendships abound
       G                        C            DLet mighty Ben More guard the peace that I found
            G            D          Em           CWhere the Forsa's dark waters pour down to the sound

[Verse 4]
G                  D        Em     CBut now I stand silent on Calgary Bay
      G                          C        DThe mighty ships waiting their anchor to weigh
    G               D          Em           CWe sail for the west-land at  break of the day
     G              D          C  GFar away from the voice of my island

[Chorus]
 D                       GMull of my heart, my island my home
      C         G             Em          DHow cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
     G           D              Em        CFarewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
    G           D         C   GNo more I'll return to my island


[Verse 5]
G               D              Em           CYears have gone by cause they never stand still
     G                             C            DThe wild winds have crumbled the crofts on the hill
     G            D            Em           CThe old folk are gone but the young lingers on
     G              D             C  GAnd thrill to the voice of their island

[Chorus]
D                       GMull of my heart, my island my home
      C         G             Em          DHow cruel the hand that has forced us to roam
     G           D             Em         CFarewell to Ben More, to the bracken and burn
    G           D         C   GNo more I'll return to my island
