 DGCG
 Should you wander this land to the North,   
 EmCGCG
 And few seldom do,   
 DGCG
 Should you follow the song of the gull     
 EmCGCG
 To enchanted western isles,     

 EmGCG
 Coax a fisherman to take you out     
 EmCGCG
 Where the silky seals are seen,  
 EmGCG
 Hear the stories that they tell about      

Prechorus:
----------
 EmA
 The maiden who is their queen,
D(mute the high e string) G C G
The maiden who is their queen.

 DGCG
 Seal hunters are not brave and bold,  
 EmCGCG
 They murder her poor wee seals   
 DGCG
 And cut off their skins to be sold,    
 EmCGCG
 Cursed be he who deals.

 EmGCG
 There's no reason for this slaughtering,
 EmCGCG
 They're left on the rocks to bleed   
 EmGCG
 He's not a man who does this thing,

 It's a cruel and a heartless deed,
 DGCG
 A cruel and a-heartless deed.

Celia of the seals,
