C Dm Em Dm C G
C Em Am Am
\ G \ F
I'm sailing away,
G
set an open course
for the virgin
sea
C Em
Am Am \ G \ F
'Cause I've got to
be free,
G
free to face the
life that's ahead of
me
Am
G
On board I'm the
captain, so climb
aboard
Am
G
We'll search for
tomorrow, on every
shore
C G
Am Am \ G \
F
And I'll try, oh
Lord, I'll try,
G C
to carry on
C Dm Em Dm C G
C Em Am
Am \ G \ F
I look to the
sea,
G
reflections in the
waves spark my
memory
C Em Am
Am \ G \ F
Some happy, some
sad,
G
I think of childhood
friends, and the
dreams we had
Am
G
We lived happily
forever, so the
story goes
Am
G
But somehow we
missed out, on the
pot of gold
C G
Am Am \ G \
F
But we'll try, best
that we can,
G C
to carry on
C F
A gathering of
angels,
G
F
appeared above my
head
C
F
They sang to me this
song of hope,
G
F
and this is what
they said, they
said
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F
come sail away with
me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F
come sail away with
me
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F
come sail away with
me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F
come sail away with
me
C
F
I thought that they
were angels,
G
F
but much to my
surprise;
C
F
we climbed aboard
their starship,
G
F
and headed for the
skies
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F
come sail away with
me, lads
C F
Come sail away, come
sail away,
C
F C F G F
come sail away with
me 5x |
