Isle of Islay

Donovan

Gm How high the gulls fly o'er  Eb Islay.
Gm How sad the farm lad deep in  F play.
Eb Felt like a  F grain on your  Gm sand.
Gm How well the sheep's bell music  Eb makes.
Gm Rovin' the cliff when fancy  F takes.
Eb Felt like the  F tide left me  Gm here.
Gm How blest the forest with birds'  Eb song.
Gm How neat the cut peat laid so  F long.
Eb Felt like a  F seed on your l Gm and.
