β« Verse 1:
G C G
Is there anything as crazy as the British navy,
Em7 D
Declaring an island's a ship in their fleet.
G C G
The island of Diamond Rock once got assigned a spot,
D G
As their first sloop made of stone in the sea.
β« Verse 2:
G C G
So, I'll hoist the mainsails if you swab the ground,
Em7 D
On our ship that's a rock that cannot move around,
G C G
And I'll chart a course, (Where ) to right here of course,
D G
'Cause our "boat" is a landmass that's this locale bound.
β« Chorus:
G C G
So, we'll stay right here, with the wind in our hair.
D
Not 'cause we're moving, it's just from the air.
G C G
Our vessel is earthen; itself is its berth and
D G
We don't say "Land Ho!" 'cause we're already there.
β« Outro:
G N.C. C N.C.
So, when I'm growning old, and my skin's getting cold,
G N.C. D N.C.
I'll still always think of the sea.
G N.C. C N.C.
And how it came close to the shore of my boat.
Em7 N.C. D N.C. G N.C.
The island's the right "ship" for me.
Em7 N.C. D N.C. G N.C.
The island's the right "ship" for me.
N.C.
(Yeah!!!)
