Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I'm sailing down the summer win[C]d
I got [G]whiskers on my [D]chin
[G]And I [C]like the mood I'm [G]in
As I while away [C]the time of day
In [G]the lee of Christian Is[D]land[G]

[Verse 2]
Tall and strong she dips and [C]reels
[G]I call her Silver [D]Heels
And she [C]tells me how [G]she feels
She's a good old boat
and she'll [C]stay afloat
Through [G]the toughest gales
and keep [D]smilin'
But for [G]one more day she would [C]like to stay
In [D]the lee of Christian Is[G]land

[Verse 3]
[G]
I'm sailing down the summer [C]day
Where [G]the fish and seagulls [D]play
I put my [C]troubles all [G]away
And when the gales comes
up I'll [C]fill my cup
With the [G]whiskey of [D]the Highlands
She's [G]a good old ship
and she'll [C]make the trip
From [D]the lee of Christian Is
[G]land

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][C][G]
[C][G][D]

[Verse 4]
[G]Tall and strong she slips [C]along
[G]I sing for her [D]a song
And she [C]leans into the [G]wind
She's a good old boat
and she'll [C]stay afloat
Through [G]the toughest gales
and keep [D]smilin'
When [G]the summer ends we will [C]rest again
In [D]the lee of [G]Christian[C][G][D]
[C][G][C][G][D]
[G]Isl[C]and[D][G]

[Outro 1]
