[A]Mull of Kintyre, oh [D]mist rolling in from the [A]sea
My de[A7]sire is [D]always to be here, oh [E7]Mull of Kin[A]tyre.

[A]Far have I travelled and much have I [A7]seen

as he [D]carries me home to the [E7]Mull of Kin[A]tyre.

[A]Sweep through the heather like deer in the [A7]glen
[D]carry me back to the [A]days I knew then.
Nights when we sang like a heavenly [A7]choir

[A]Smiles in the sunshine and tears in the [A7]rain
[D]still takes me back where my [A]memories remain.
Flickering embers grow higher and [A7]higher
as they [D]carry me back to the [E7]Mull of Kin[A]tyre.
