      Karan Casey - The Silkie Song


Capo 2



[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
                      G     C
I'll come up from the salty sea
              F          G
And watch the waves come in
C                     G     C
I'll come up from the salty sea
    F         G          C
And watch the waves come in
                     F        C
Silkie song o'er the rain and wind
F                    G
Watch the waves come in
C                  F        C
Sing a song in the moon and sun
           G     C
A seal out of my skin

[Verse 2]
                    G     C
I'll come up to the sandy beach
              F      G
I'll hear the silkie sing
C                   G     C
I'll come up to the sandy beach
     F        G      C
I'll hear the silkie sing
                    F     C
Magic song and I'll sing along
F               G
Hear the silkie sing
C                F      C
Sing along in my golden coat
           G     C
A seal out of my skin

[Verse 3]
                    G        C
I'll go down with a shopping bag
            F      G
All full up to the brim
C                    G        C
I'll go down with my shopping bag
    F       G      C
All full up to the brim
                     F         C
Chocolate bars and a kettle of fish
F              G
Full up to the brim
C                     F         C
Share my tea with the seals who sing
              G      C
We're full up to the brim

[Verse 4]
                    G         C
Go to sleep with no shoes and socks
          F     G
I'm going for a swim
C                   G         C
Go to sleep with no shoes and socks
    F     G     C
I'm going for a swim
                   F         C
Pack my books in a cardboard box
    F           G
I'm going for a swim
C                     F     C
Leave them all on the slimy rocks
         G       C
A seal inside my skin

[Verse 5]
                      G     C
I'll come up from the salty sea
              F          G
And watch the waves come in
C                     G     C
I'll come up from the salty sea
    F         G          C
And watch the waves come in
