Biography:
Fairport Convention is often credited with being one of the first English folk rock bands. Formed in 1967, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English folk tunes and songs.
Like their peers The Byrds, Buffalo Springfield and Jefferson Airplane they were blessed with several considerable individual talents and produced music that -at least initially- was eclectic, as well as exploratory.

[Verse]
N.C.
I want clear water from here to the horizon
N.C.
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
N.C.
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
N.C.
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water as we sail out to the head
F Em Dm G
All I want to hear is the ripple from the bow
F C G Am
Let us be at ease now and know our true position
F C G C
Like a compass to the star, like a team hooked to the plough
[Verse]
F Em
And as for all the history, it's best it's left unwritten
Dm C Dm G
Few would believe if we told all we have seen
F C G Am
Comedy and tragedy have come along unbidden
F C G C
They are the port and starboard that we sail in between
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water for each new destination
F Em Dm G
And if the storm should break we will take it in our stride
F C G Am
We rode out the tempest when the clouded stars were hidden
F C G C
And the rising of the moon proved to be a fickle guide
[Verse]
F Em
And if we hear the timbers creak, we'll be give and take
Dm C Dm G
Voices from outside, we know our craft is strong
F C G Am
As long as we can speak without raising our voices
F C G C
The music of the storm is in the guarding of the song
[Bridge]
G
At night upon the deck I want to feel the salty spray
F G
Like warm tears on my face for the passing of the day
F Em
I watch the wheeling star 'til the light breaks in the east
Dm G
May the journey never end, let us be at peace
[Instrumental]
F C G Am F Em Dm G
F C G Am F C G C
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
F Em Dm G
Maybe scarred and feathered, but who'd say we were wrong
F C G Am
The journey not the goal was the only thing that mattered
F C G C
While the wounds you thought had healed can still be opened by a song
[Verse]
F C G Am
I want clear water from here to the horizon
F Em Dm G
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead
F C G Am
Fair weather as we head for the skyline
F C G C
Clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
F C G C
A clear sky in the morning and every sunset red
N.C.
I want clear water from here to the horizon
N.C.
I want some calm seas for the journey still ahead

Fair weather as we head for the skyline
