[Eb]
Out upon the islands on a cool summer night, [Bb] buddy you don't got to hurry, [Eb] take your time.
What you need is on the menu when you get it tonight, buddy you got women's on your mind.
[Ab] Could this be magic or could [Eb] this be love?
[Ab] Could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often [Bb] does.
And I see [Eb] lonely ships upon the water, better save the women and children first.
Sail away with someone's daughter, better save the women and children first.
[Gb] I hear music [Eb] on the landing [Ebm] and there's laughter in the [Eb] air, just could be your boat is coming in.
[Ebm] Now you're leaning [Eb] back and you're half-foot-tall but you ain't got your head right.
There's a [Ebm] full moon out tonight, baby let's begin.
And [Ab] she said, could this be magic or could this [Ebm] be [Eb] love?
Uh-oh, and I [Ab] said, could this turn tragic?
You know that magic [Bb] often does.
And I see [Gm] lonely ships upon [Eb] the water, better save the women and children first.
[Bb] Sail [Eb] away with someone's daughter, [Cm]
better save the women and [Ebm] children first.
And [Ab]
she [Eb]
[Ab]
[Bb]
[Ab] says, could this be magic or could this be [Eb] love?
And I say, [Ab] could this turn tragic?
You know that magic often [Bb] does.
And [Eb] I see lonely ships upon the water, better save the women and children first.
Sail [Bb] away with [Cm] someone's daughter, better save the women and children first.
Yes, I.
