Christian Island Chords & Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I'[A]m sailing down the summer w[D]ind
I've got whi[A]skers on my c[E]hin
And I li[D]ke the mood I'm [A]in
As I while away the t[D]ime of day
on the le[A]e of Christian Is[E]land

[A]Tall and strong she fools and re[D]els
I [A]call her "Silver [E]heels"
And she t[D]ells me how she f[A]eels
She's a good old boat 'n she'll s[D]tay afloat
thru the tou[A]ghest gail 'n keep sm[E]ilin
But for o[A]ne more day she would l[D]ike to stay
in the [E7]lee of Christian[A] Island

I'm sailing down the summer day
Where fish and seagulls play
I put my troubles all away
And when the gate comes up,
I'll fill my cup with the whiskey of the highlands
She's a good old ship 'n she'll make the trip from the lee of Christian Island

(hum a verse)

Tall and strong she slips along
I sing for her a song
And she leans into the wind
She's a good old boat 'n she'll stay afloat thru the toughest gail 'n keep smilin
When the summer ends we will rest again in the lee of Christian Island

When the su[A]mmer ends we will r[D]est again
in the l[E7]ee of Christian Isl[A]and
