[Intro]
D
[Verse 1]
D
Baby it's been a long time, we've been sitting on drydock
      D                                       A
And it seems like all the pathways have been blocked
A7
Now the tides have turned and the rewards we have earned
Em                       A
Bringing us good feeling, set our hearts a-reeling, baby
[Chorus]
D          Bm       G              A
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
D          Bm       G          A
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
D          Bm       G          A
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
D          Bm       G              A                    D
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping 'til we say so, hey now
[Verse 2]
D
Now let's rock it steady, since a long time we've been ready
                          A
Let nothing detract our attention
A7
Let's take our time 'cause I'm feeling so fine
Em                     A
When you hold me tight, everything's all right, darlin'
[Chorus]
D          Bm       G          A
Our ship is sailing, yes we are moving
D          Bm       G              A
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
D          Bm       G             A
Our ship is sailing, let's keep on moving
D          Bm       G              A                    D
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping 'til we say so, hey hey now
[Bridge]
Em
Now with love and affection, we're moving in the right direction
    G                            D
Satisfaction is the key along the way
Em
So let's share the joy like a child with a new toy
Bm                 A
Baby hold me tight, everything's all right, darlin'
[Chorus]
D          Bm       G          A
Our ship is sailing, and we are moving
D          Bm       G              A
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping now
D          Bm       G          A
Our ship is sailing, yes we are on the go
D          Bm       G              A
Our ship is sailing, there ain't no stopping
[Outro]
D                  Bm                     G   A
Let's share the joy (Our ship is sailing)
      D                Bm                         G   A
Like a child with a new toy (Our ship is sailing)
          D                          Bm
Baby let's take our time (Our ship is sailing)
          G          A     G     A          D
'Cause I'm feeling so fine, babe, yeah, yeah...
