Although technically not a Beatles song, Mull of Kintyre was written by one of the original Beatles members, Sir Paul McCartney, who wrote this tribute to the area he owned a farm in. The area in Scotland was known as Kintyre and the headland was called the Mull of Kintyre. McCartney has owned land on this peninsula since 1966.

Refrain:

[D]Mull of Kintyre, Oh [G]mist rolling in from the [D]Sea

My desire is [G]always to be here, Oh, [A7]Mull of Kin-[D]tyre.

–

[D]Far have I travelled, and [D7]much have I seen

[G]Dark distant mountains, with [D]valleys of green.

Past painted deserts, the [D7]sunset’s on fire

As he [G]carries me home, to the [A7]Mull of Kin-[D]tyre.

–

Refrain

–

[D]Sweep through the heather, like [D7]deer in the glen

[G]Carry me back, to the [D]days I knew then.

Nights when we sang, like a [D7]heavenly choir

Of the [G]life and the time, of the[A7] Mull of Kin-[D]tyre.

–

Refrain

– 

[D]Smiles in the sunshine, and [D7]tears in the rain,

[G]Still take me back to where my [D]memories remain.

Flickering embers, growing [D7]higher and higher

As they [G]carry me back, to the [A7]Mull of Kin-[D]tyre.
