     G           D         Em         C
Hey, look at the way she's waving her sail

       D                  G
It's a wonderous sight to see

       G        D         Em    C
People hurry on down from every town

       D                    G
Have a look at the Robert E Lee
[Pre-Chorus]
G         Em         C       D  G
Proud and strong and made to be free

G        Em           A         D
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee
[Chorus]
        G         D            Em         C
Got the sun in my eyes and the wind in my face

         D                G
And it's good just to be alive

      G       D           Em    C
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans

        D              G
I won't sleep till I arrive
G D Em C D G [Bridge]
G
And if I'm lucky,

G
I'll find a young lady under the stars

G
And we'll dance the night away

G                    D
Somebody wake me and say it's a dream

G                           Am  A#m  G
Leadin' me far from my home

    C
And haven't you noticed

   G
Despite what it seems

    D#                         E
You can't deny it's you and I alone
[Verse 2]
      G        D         Em          C
Maybe spend my life just workin' the land

      D                  G
Maybe livin' from day to day

        G      D        Em    C
But I'm free tonight in New Orleans

     D                     G
If I like it, I just might stay
[Pre-Chorus]
G         Em         C       D  G
Proud and strong and made to be free

G        Em           A         D
Can't go wrong on the Robert E. Lee
[Chorus]
        G         D            Em         C
Got the sun in my eyes and the wind in my face

         D                G
And it's good just to be alive

      G       D           Em    C
Gonna set out tonight for New Orleans

        D              G
I won't sleep till I arrive
