verse 1 Am Dm Am F Am Loud the winds howl, loud the waves roar, thunderclaps rend the air. Am Dm Am F Am G7 Baffled our foes stand by the shore, follow they will not dare. Repeat Chorus verse 2 Am Dm Am F Am Through the waves leap, soft shall ye sleep, ocean`s a royal bed. Am Dm Am F Am G7 Rocked in the deep, Flora will keep watch by your weary head. Repeat Chorus verse 3  Am              Dm                  Am           F          Am Many`s the lad, fought on that day, well the claymore could wield. Am                   Dm            Am          F       Am     G7 When the night came, silently lay, dead on Culloden`s field.   Repeat Chorus   verse 4 Am                    Dm               Am          F     Am Burned are our homes, exile and death, scatter the loyal men. Am                   Dm                  Am           F      Am   G7 Yet, o`er the sword, cool in the sheath, Charlie will come again.   Repeat Chorus
