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
