Chords

    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
