D
I haven't slept since Wednesday evening
           A                   Bm         G
There is no sleep with all this grieving
         D
No music here, where once was singing
          A
Where once was singing

[Verse]
            D
We are like ghosts here on Rathlin Island
             A                     Bm      G
All fleshless bone, all shamed and silent
             D
Our feet are stone where once was dancing
          A
Where once was dancing

[Chorus]
G     D          G        D
Sail away, love, from the island
G        D      A
Sail out on the sea
G      A        G       A
Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin
   Bm    A    G       A G  A
An baile i mo chroí

[Verse]
             D
The waves are pounding Slough na Morra
             A                    Bm        G
Hundreds will sail, hundreds left mourning
             D
We will look back, beimid ar marthan
          A
Beimid ar marthan

Ochon is ochon, the hills are wailing
          F#m                G
Carve our names in Clogh na Screeve
 D       G D        G       A
Ochon is ochon, the ship is sailing
        F#m          G            Bm
In ainm Dé, in ainm Dé a rach faimíd

[Verse]
        D
Today I walk Raghery's headland
           A                    Bm      G
The welcome is warm here on the island
        D
Seventy strong, it's hard to leave them
         A
It's hard to leave them

[Chorus]
G     D          G        D
Sail away, love, from the island
G        D      A
Sail out on the sea
G      A        G       A
Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin
   Bm    A    G
An baile i mo chroí

[Chorus]
G     D          G        D
Sail away, love, from the island
G        D      A
Sail out on the sea
G      A        G       A
Turn a blue eye back on Rathlin
   Bm    A    D
An baile i mo chroí
