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
