Capo: 2
Note that the verses use only the D chord through the entire verse.
It seems odd to read but if you try singing it, it works.
Watch Roy play it if you need an idea of the rhythym.
I've included both the English (Kishmul's Galley) and the Scots Gaelic
(A' Bhirlinn Bharrach) lyrics.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 2nd for both
Kishmul's Galley
DHigh on the Bennachie
On a day of days
Seaward I gazed,
Watching Kishmul's galley sailing.
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
Bravely 'gainst wind and tide,
They've brought her to
Neath Kishmul's walls,
Kishmul Castle, our ancient glory.
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
Here's red wine and feast for heros
And harping too,
and harping too,
watching Kishmul's galley sailing
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o

A' Bhirlinn Bharrach (The Barra Galley)
DLatha dhomh am Beinn a' Cheathaich
Air fal-il-o o-i-o-u
Gu'n deach bàta Chloinn Neill seachad
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
DI gun slat gun rachd gun bheairt rith
Air fal-il-o o-i-o-u
Gun cheann cumail air a h-acair
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
DFearchar air stiùir làmh ri tapadh
Air fal-il-o o-i-o-u
Ruaraidh Òg an t-oighre maiseach
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
DGille dhillean Mòr an gaisgeach
Air fal-il-o o-i-o-u
'S Niall Gruamach Mac Ruari 'n Tartair.
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
DB'ait leam do bhàta 's gabhail
Air fal-il-ho riona-so
'Mach ò dhùthaich Mhic 'Illeathain
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
D'Steach gu Ceisemul an athair
Air fal-il-o, no rion-a-so
Far am faighteadh cuirm ri gabhail
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
DFion ò oidhche 'gus an latha
fal-li-o-hu o-i-o-u
Is clarsach bhinn 'ga gleusadh marris
Go hi-o Dhu-o
Afal-A7hi-o-Dhu-o
