Got out of town on a boat goin' to southern islands
              G G     F F                  F-C-C9-C
Sailing a reach before a followin' sea
             G    G             F F              F-C    C
She was makin' for the trades on the outside
              G    G      F F              F-C-C9-C
And the downhill run to Papeete Bay

            G G            F F                        F-C-C9-C
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
            G G                    F      F    C2      Am     G
We got eighty feet on the waterline, nicely making way
        G G           F   F                F - C-C9-C
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
              G   G                 F   F            C2           Am G
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away, think about

{Refrain:
F F                       C2 C2       F F    G
   Think about how many times I have fallen
F F                C2 C2     F    F             G
      Spirits are using me, larger voices callin'
F F                              C2 C2       F       F        G
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
                     C   F       G      C                      F          G
I have been around the world lookin' for that woman, girl
         C               F       G                                     G G F F F-C C
Who knows love can endure . . . and you know it will
                          G G F F F-C-C9-C
And you know it will                            }

                 G G                   F F               F    C      C
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
        G G                 F F                        F-C-C9-C
You understand now why you came this way
                G G                      F         F          F C     C
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small
               G G         F         F      C2                 Am       G
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a coming day

            G G            F F                                F C   C
So I'm sailing for tomorrow, my dreams are a dyin'
              G G       F F                       C2            Am   G
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain
                G G       F F                     F - C C
I have my ship and all her flags are a flyin'
           G G             F F     C2     Am    G
She is all that I have left and music is her name

[REFRAIN]

            G       G           F F             F - C   C
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
             G G               F F                 C2     Am       G
And we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do
G G               F F          F - C C
    You will survive being bested
                      G   G          F        F                        C2          Am    G
But somebody fine . . will come along make me forget about loving you
                        G G |||| F F |||| F-C C      G G |||| F F |||| F-C-G-C
