[[VERSE]]
G C
Many nights I sit here
Em D C
With memories by the score
G C
Thinking of the days I spent
Em D
With the girl I still adore
[[CHORUS]]
G C
So I'm going back to see her
D G
Before my days are done
G C Am D G
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
[[REPEAT SAME CHORDS FOR REST OF THE SONG]]
Once I had a notion
'bout this bajin girl
I put my thoughts in motion
And found my heart in a whirl
So I'm going back to see her
Before my days are done
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
Ever since I left here
Nothings been the same
Think I'll pull up anchor
Going back and give her my name
So I'm going back to see her
Before my days are done
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
Yes I'm going back to see her
Before my days are done
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
G C
Many nights I sit here
Em D C
With memories by the score
G C
Thinking of the days I spent
Em D
With the girl I still adore
[[CHORUS]]
G C
So I'm going back to see her
D G
Before my days are done
G C Am D G
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun

Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
Ever since I left here
Nothings been the same
Think I'll pull up anchor
Going back and give her my name
So I'm going back to see her
Before my days are done
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
Yes I'm going back to see her
Before my days are done
Going back to see her in the land of the sea and sun
