| 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 |
