Out upon the islands on a cool summer night, buddy, you don't got to hurry to your time.
What you need is on the menu and you get it tonight, buddy, you got women's on your mind.
[Ab] Could this be magic?
.
Could this [Eb] be love?
.
[Ab] Could this turn tragic?.
You know that magic [Eb] often does.
[Bb] .
[Eb] And I see lonely ships upon the water.
Better save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter.
Better save the women and children first.
[Ebm] I [Eb] hear music on the landing and there's laughter in the air.
Just could be your boat is coming in.
Yeah, you're leaning back and you got a foot tab and ain't got your head right.
[Gb] There's a full [Eb] moon out tonight, baby, let's begin.
And she [Ab] said, could this be magic?
.
Could this [Eb] be love?.
Uh oh.
And I [Ab] said, could this turn tragic?.
You know that [Bb] magic often does.
.
I see [Ebm] [Eb] lonely ships upon the water.
Better save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter.
Better save the women and children first.
[Ab] .
[Eb] .
[Ab] .
[E] [Bb] .
And she [A] says, [Ab] could this be magic?
.
Or could this [Eb] be love?
.
And I say, [Ab] could this turn tragic?.
You know that magic [Bbm] often does.
[Bb] .
[Eb] And I see lonely ships upon the water.
[Ebm] Better [Eb] save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter.
Better save the women and children first.
Yes.
[Bb] [Eb] .
