 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.
