My ship set sail to Bluebird Island
G5 C5
And slowly drifted out to sea
G5 C5 F5 C5
Her silver sails to cross the ocean
G5 C5
My lover's lonely heart set free.
C5 F5 C5 G5 C5
Then out a- cross the waves, the bluebirds came one day
G5 C5
Out o'er the silver sea, your message brought to me
D5 G5
To sail my ship of love along the moonlit bay
D5 G5
And anchor in the harbor of your heart.
N.C. C5 F5 C5
The trade winds there on Bluebird Island
G5 C5
Soon dried her lonely tears a- way
G5 C5 F5 C5
The treasure I found broken- hearted
G5 C5
Was locked within my heart to stay.
