Oh  Oo  Oh  Oo    x2


   [Verse 1]
C              C7           F
The headlights swing across the naked heath
  C                C7               F
Through the silent miles, the empty spaces
C                 C7        F
With the drinking boys, the dancing wine
C                     C7             F
Somewhere outside the laughing glass burns in your eye


   [Chorus]
C   F   C   F
Oh  Oo  Oh  Oo
      C      F
Oh oo Eilean mairidh do linn
      C       F
Oh oo Tal amh moige

   [Verse 2]
C                  C7        F
Elvis is still the king, the long road home
C             C7             F
The flushed caress, the trembling heart
C           C7         F
The ebb and flow of dancing hands
C                   C7               F
She's in your arms, electric chords, accordion bands


   [Chorus]
C   F   C   F
Oh  Oo  Oh  Oo
      C      F
Oh oo Eilean mairidh do linn
      C       F
Oh oo Tal amh moige
