C   G7       C       F        C
 My ship set sail to Bluebird Island 
           G7             C
And slowly drifted out to sea 
    G7     C        F         C
Her silver sails to cross the ocean 
           G7               C
My lover's lonely heart set free. 
C          F          C          G7        C
Then out a- cross the waves, the bluebirds came one day 
    G7                        C
Out o'er the silver sea, your message brought to me 
   D                              G7
To sail my ship of love along the moonlit bay 
    D                            G7
And anchor in the harbor of your heart. 
N.C.                   C        F        C
 The trade winds there on Bluebird Island 
               G7             C
Soon dried her lonely tears a- way 
    G7       C       F      C
The treasure I found broken- hearted 
           G7                 C
Was locked within my heart to stay.
