VERSE 1:
A G D
Got outta town on a boat going to southern islands
A G D
Sailing a reach before a following sea
A G D
She was making for the trades on the outside
A G D
And the downhill run to Paapete Bay
A G D
Off this wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
A G D Bm A
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
A G D
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
A G D Bm A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away
CHORUS 1:
G D G A
(Think about) Think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me larger voices calling
G D G A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
D G A
I have been ar-ou-nd the world
D G A
Looking for that woman girl
D G A
Who knows love can endure
A G D A G D
And you know it will
VERSE 2:
A G D
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time
A G D
You understand now why you came this way
A G D
Cause the truth you might be runnin from is so small
A G D Bm A
But its as big as the promise, The promise of a coming day
A G D
So I’m sailing for tommorrow my dreams are a dying
A G D Bm A
And my love is an anchor tied to you (Tied with a silver chain)
A G D
I have my ship and all her flags are a flying
A G D Bm A
She is all that I have left, And music is her name
CHORUS 2:
G D G A
(Think about) Think about how many times I have fallen
G D G A
Spirits are using me larger voices calling
G D G A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten
D G A
I have been ar-ou-nd the world
D G A
Looking for that woman girl
D G A
Who knows love can endure
A G D
And you know it will
A G D
And you know it will
A G D }x4
VERSE 3:
A G D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested
A G D Bm A
And we never failed to fail, It was the easiest thing to do
A G D
You will survive being bested
A G D Bm A
Somebody fine will come along, make me forget about loving you
A G D A G D
In the southern cross
