I'm sailing down the summer [D] wind I've [A] got whiskers on [E] my chin
[D] And I like the mood [A] I'm in As I while away [D] the time of day
In [A] the lee of [E] Christian Island Tall [A]
and strong she dips [D] and reels
I [A]
call her [E] Silver Heels [D] And she tells me how [A] she feels
She's a good old boat [D] and she'll stay afloat [A] Through the toughest gale [E] and keep smiling
But [A] for one more day [D] she would like to stay [E] In the lee of [A] Christian Island
I'm sailing down the summer [D] day [A] Where fish and [E] seagulls play
I [D] put my troubles all [A] away And when the gale comes up [D] I fill my cup
[A] With the whiskey [E] of the highlands She's [A] a good old ship [D] and she'll make the trip
[E] From the lee of [A] Christian Island

[A] Through the toughest gale and [E] keep smiling
When the summer ends [D] we will rest again [E] In the lee of [A] Christian Island
