C F I'm sailing down the summer wind C G7 I got whiskers on my chin F C And I like the mood I'm in F As I while away the time of day C G7 In the lee of Christian Island C F Tall and strong she dips and reels C G7 I call her Silver Heels F C And she tells me how she feels F She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat C G7 Through the toughest gales and keep smilin' C F But for one more day she would like to stay G7 C In the lee of Christian Island F I'm sailing down the summer day C G7 Where the fish and seagulls play F C I put my troubles all away F And when the gales comes up I'll fill my cup C G7 With the whiskey of the Highlands C F She's a good old ship and she'll make the trip G7 C From the lee of Christian Island F Tall and strong she slips along C G7 I sing for her a song F C And she leans into the wind F She's a good old boat and she'll stay afloat C G7 Through the toughest gales and keep smilin' C F When the summer ends we will rest again G7 C In the lee of Christian Island
