Lyrics

(A)Mull of Kin tyre, oh, (D)mist roll ing in from the (A)sea, my de sire is (D)al ways to be here, oh, (A)Mull of Kin tyre.

(A)Far have I trav elled and much have I seen,

(D)dark, dis tant moun tains with (A)val leys of green.

Past paint ed des erts, the sun set’s on fire as he car ries me home to the (E)Mull of (E7)Kin (A)tyre.

(A)Mull of Kin tyre, oh, (D)mist roll ing in from the (A)sea, my de sire is (D)al ways to be here, oh, (A)Mull of Kin tyre.

(D)Sweep through the heath er like deer in the glen,

(G)car ry me back to the (D)days I knew then.

Nights when we sang like a heav en ly choir of the (G)life and the times of the (A)Mull of (A7)Kin (D)tyre.

(D)Mull of Kin tyre, oh, (G)mist roll ing in from the (D)sea, my de sire is (G)al ways to be here, oh, (D)Mull of Kin tyre.

(D)Mull of Kin tyre, oh, (G)mist roll ing in from the (D)sea, my de sire is (G)al ways to be here, oh, (D)Mull of Kin tyre.
