(Intro) Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
(Verse 1)
Cm
Waiting at the water’s edge, watching all the ships
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
I was just a boy, I was just a boy,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Dreaming of the wide world, dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)

Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
All the places I have never been;

Looking out to sea, looking out to sea,

Dreaming of a wide world, dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)

Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was

Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
Cm Abmaj7 Cm
With you tonight, with you tonight
(Verse 3)

Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
Bb/D Eb Ab Bb
I am watching where the shadows fall,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Looking at the girls, listening to the girls,
Cm Abmaj7 Cm Abmaj7
Dreaming of a new world, dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Fm Cm Fm Bb
Ooh, Oooh, Ooh, Oooh, I wish I was
Eb Ab Eb Ab Eb Ab Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away

In your arms tonight, in your arms tonight

I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Eb Ab Bb Cm Abmaj7 Cm
Sailing away, with you now, with you now.
