Donovan - Isle Of Islay

isle of islay
capo on 2 standard tuning

Dm C
how high the gulls fly o’er islay
Dm A#
how sad the farm land deep in play
C A# Dm
felt like a grain on your sand

Dm C
how well the sheeps bell music makes
Dm A#
roving the cliff when fancy takes
C A# Dm
felt like a tide left me here

Dm C
how blessed the forest with birdsong
Dm A#
how neat the cut peat laid so long
C A# Dm
felt like a seed on your land
interlude
Dm Dm2 Dm C G Dm
Dm Dm2 Dm C G Dm
