[Verse 1]
G Em
There's a ship and it sails a sea of light
C Am7
On it's way to me to - night from a distant shore
G D
Taking me home once more.
G Em
And the waves, and the whistling of the wind
C D G C
make me come alive again, my destiny's at my door.
D Em B7 Em
Gonna leave this town for - ever and go where I'll never
Am7 C/D D
need an overcoat no more - where they cry
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 G C G Em D
Ooh la la laaa, every night and every day. Sitting by the Gulf Coast,
Am7 D
just a thousand miles away. Where they cry
Gmaj7 G C G C G
Ooh la la laaa, on an island I will dwell, starlit nights in paradise
D G
On the isle of San - i - bel.

[Verse 2]
G Em
There's a girl, and I see her dressed in white
C Am7
as she lies there in the night. I can hear her cry
G D
where has he gone and why?
G Em C
But she knows that someday he will arrive, and it keeps her love alive;
D G C
dreams can never die.
D Em B7 Em
She looks across the ocean, the sails in motion
Am7 D
in the early morning sky. Where they cry
[Chorus]
Gmaj7 G C G Em D
Ooh la la laaa, every night and every day. Sitting by the Gulf Coast,
Am7 D
just a thousand miles away. Where they cry
Gmaj7 G C G C G
Ooh la la laaa, on an island I will dwell, starlit nights in paradise
D G
On the isle of San - i - bel.

Angels of the water, sirens of the sea
F C G D
Whispering their sweet love songs, calling out to me.
