Key of Em to start, but with a few times Key Changes.
 
[Verse 1] (Starts about 0:35)
     Em                              Bm
Like mighty ships that sail atlantic foam,
    Em                             Bm
the skellig isles parade the kerry coast.
       Am                   G
It's a strange place with a needle's eye
      Am
where shipwrecks lie.
 
[Chorus 1]
Cm          Ab   Bb     Cm    Ab     Bb    Cm
  Where the king of the world rested for a while
      Ab    Bb      Cm         Ab     Bb   (Eb)
and a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of time.
 
[Interlude 1]
| Eb          | Bb          | Ab          | Cm    Fm   |

[Chorus 2]
Gm Eb       F        Gm       Eb     F     Gm
   Fourteen steps to nowhere, out of solid stone,
      Eb      F      Gm         Eb      F     (Gm*)
don't lead us to the heavens or lead us to the sea.

[Verse 2]
    Em                             Bm
The Vikings came to plunder and destroy
    Em                          Bm
but to this day the holy relics stand.
     Am                        G
In a blind mans cove where the wailing woman sighs
         Am
and the seagulls cry.
 
[Chorus 1]
Cm          Ab   Bb     Cm    Ab     Bb    Cm
  Where the king of the world rested for a while
      Ab    Bb      Cm         Ab     Bb   (Eb)
and a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of time.

[Chorus 2]
Gm Eb       F        Gm       Eb     F     Gm
   Fourteen steps to nowhere, out of solid stone,
      Eb      F      Gm         Eb      F     (Gm*)
don't lead us to the heavens or lead us to the sea.

[Verse 3] (Start on Cue, aboout 2:58)
   Em                         Bm
A journey to these islands so rare,
    Em                                     Bm
the sound of screaming souls that fill the air.
  Am              G
A thousand wings against the sky
    Am
and grey seal's disguised.
 
[Chorus 1]
Cm          Ab   Bb     Cm    Ab     Bb    Cm
  Where the king of the world rested for a while
      Ab    Bb      Cm         Ab     Bb   (Eb)
and a place for the pilgrim, a sanctuary of time.

don't lead us to the heavens or lead us to the sea.
