_ _ [Eb] Flannan [Bb] Island's in the south [Ab] by the point of [Bb] Cudger Eath
[Eb] _ [Bb] 47 miles from [Ab] land and the roughest part of a sea
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] And [Ab] the finest day we see is [Eb] black
_ [Bb] _ [F] They say no one knows ever come [Eb] back from there
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ They say the wicked [Ab] spirits haunt the lighthouse in [Gm] the night
_ _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ Fierce ghosts of many [Ab] men who tried to stop the [Gm] warning light
_ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ Waves are hurled [A] against the ugly [Ab] rocks
Spring is changed [Fm] at once to a water [C] of ice
The bird who was [Dm] to rest its tired wings
[Ab] _ Lands and it is turned to a dummy [G] of stone
_ _ [A] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ [Eb] The island's [Bb] rocks have many [Ab] caves that smell of dying flesh
[Eb] They fear the [Bb] strangers to their maze of [Ab] never-ending lame
[Eb] Oh, [Bb] _ [Ab] the empty cave is filled with [Eb] some
[Bb] Oh, [Ab] a madman crying in the [Eb] ground below
_ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ Each month a [Ab] boat is sucked to perish by the [Gm] rocky isle
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ Each time a boat [Ab] is full the currents are directed [Gm] there
_ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ Boats that [Am] sail to near to Flannan [Ab] Isle
Feel the [Fm] weather change and they turn [C] away
They dare [Am] to look behind and stare
[Ab] _ Screams [Fm] of disappointment _ fill the [G] air _ _ _ _
