Intro
Am Em F/C C/G
Am Em F/C
C/G G F/C x2

Am Em F/C C/G
As ships sail away I grow tired and gray
Am Em F/C
this story has always been true
Am Em F/C C/G
and it’s a long way down each time around
Am Em F/C
it’s something you never get used to

Am Em F/C C/G
Well I fell like a fool for the one and only
Am Em F/C
I made peace with a haunting old friend
Am Em F/C C/G
and as the first drops fell our last words sailed
Am Em F/C
they sit with me still in the sand

Instrumental
Em/G Dm/F x4

Am Em F/C C/G
Forty days, boys, and forty nights
Am Em F/C
the ship tossed and turned two by two
Am Em F/C C/G
they say heaven poured down on our poor little heads
Am Em F/C
and the world began anew
Am Em F/C C/G Am
Golden shores, I want no more in my time
Em F/C
than time to tell
Am Em F/C C/G
high on the mountain is each mark shown
Am Em F/C
as the wind is blown from our sails

Outro Instrumental
Em/G Dm/F x4
Am Em F/C C/G Am Em F/C x2

End with
C/G G F/C
