From CSNY's album "Looking Forward". [Intro] G Em C D [Verse 1]
           G                          Em
There's a ship and it sails a sea of light

                         C           Am7
On it's way to me to - night from a distant shore

G                      D
Taking me home once more.

          G                             Em
And the waves, and the whistling of the wind

                      C        D              G         C
make me come alive again, my destiny's at my door.

       D                     Em      B7              Em
Gonna leave this town for - ever and go where I'll never

          Am7       C/D  D
need an overcoat no more - where they cry
[Chorus]
 Gmaj7      G           C              G    Em             D
Ooh la la laaa, every night and every day. Sitting by the Gulf Coast,

         Am7             D
just a thousand miles away. Where they cry

 Gmaj7     G           C              G       C               G
Ooh la la laaa, on an island I will dwell, starlit nights in paradise

         D                G
On the isle of San - i - bel.
[Interlude] G Em C D [Verse 2]
           G                              Em
There's a girl, and I see her dressed in white

                            C          Am7
as she lies there in the night. I can hear her cry

G                      D
where has he gone and why?

         G                            Em                         C
But she knows that someday he will arrive, and it keeps her love alive;

D                 G         C
dreams can never die.

      D                  Em       B7       Em
She looks across the ocean, the sails in motion

        Am7           D
in the early morning sky.  Where they cry
[Chorus]
 Gmaj7      G           C              G    Em             D
Ooh la la laaa, every night and every day. Sitting by the Gulf Coast,

         Am7             D
just a thousand miles away. Where they cry

 Gmaj7     G           C              G       C               G
Ooh la la laaa, on an island I will dwell, starlit nights in paradise

         D                G
On the isle of San - i - bel.
[Interlude] G Em C D [Bridge]
F              C      G
Angels of the water, sirens of the sea

F                  C                 G            D
Whispering their sweet love songs, calling out to me.
[Chorus]
 Gmaj7      G           C              G    Em             D
Ooh la la laaa, every night and every day. Sitting by the Gulf Coast,

         Am7             D
just a thousand miles away. Where they cry

 Gmaj7     G           C              G       C               G
Ooh la la laaa, on an island I will dwell, starlit nights in paradise

         D                G
On the isle of San - i - bel.
