  			Intro: C - Csus - F (x2) 

C         G                        Am 
Seems I remember her best when the moon is high 
F           C                          G                Am - G 
And on the horizon she waits where the sea touches the sky 
C         G                        Am 
We'll make up for time we've lost and days gone by 
          F        C                 F        C 
And we'll walk the beaches, live the way the island teaches 

G           F 
Oh Westward Wind 
             C       G                  F 
Filling my sails and giving me time to spend with you again

Ohhhhhhhh  Westward Wind 
F                  G                 C   
Sail away like a dream coming back again

Soon I will gaze into your eyes of blue

It's been such a long time since I was there with you 
C         G                        Am 
We'll think of a hundred things that we can do 
          F        C                 F        C 
When the days are long and nights are filled with smiles and laughter 

G           F
