6 6 6 -7 7 7 7
Got out of town on a boat
-6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
Gon’ to south-ern is-lands
6 6 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -6 6 -5 6
Sail-ing a reach be-fore a fol-low-ing sea
6 6 -7 -7 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 6
She was mak-in’ for the trades on the out-side
6 6 -7 -7 7 7 -6 6 -5 6
and the down-hill run to Pa-pe-e-te
6 6 -7 7 7 7 7
Off the wind on this head-ing
7 7 7 -6 6
lie the Mar-que-sas
6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -6
We got eight-y feet of wa-ter-line
6 6 7 7 -7
Nice-ly mak-ing way
6 6 -7 -7 7 7 7 7 -6
In a nois-y bar in A-va-lon
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
I tried to call you
6 6 6 -7 -7 -7
But on the mid-night watch
-7 7 7 7 7 7 7 -8 -8 -8
I re-al-ized why twice you ran a-way

-6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6 -6 7 -7-6 6 6
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
-6 -6 7 7 7 -6
Spir-its are us-ing me,
-6 7 7 7 -7-6 6 6
larg-er voic-es call- in’
-6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6
What heav-en brought you and me
-6 7 7 7 -6-6 6 6
Can-not be for-got- ten

Key: D
7 7 7 8 -9 8-8 7 -8
I have been a-round the world

Key: D
-9 -9 8 8 -8 -8 -8
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
7 -9 8 -8 -8 -8
Who knows love can en-dure.
6 6 6 6 -7
And you know it will.

Key: A

6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 7
When you see the South-ern Cross
-6 -6 -6 6
for the first time
6 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -6 6 -5 6
You un-der-stand now why you came this way
6 6 -7 -7 7 7 7 7 -6
‘Cause the truth you might be run-nin’ from
-6 -6 6
is so small
6 6 6 -7 -7 -7 7 7
But it’s as big as the prom-ise,
6 7 7 7 7 7 -8 -8
the prom-ise of a com-ing day

6 6 -7 -7 7 7 7 7
So I’m sail-ing for to-mor-row,
7 7 7 7 -6 6 6
my dreams are a dy- in’
6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 -6
And my love is an an-chor tied to you,
6 6 7 7 7 -7
tied with a sil-ver chain
6 -7 -7 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 -6 -6 6 6
I have my ship and all her flags are a fly-in’
6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 7
She is all that I have left
7 7 7 -8 -8 -8
and mu-sic is her name

-6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6 -6 7 -7-6 6 6
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
-6 -6 7 7 7 -6
Spir-its are us-ing me,
-6 7 7 7 -7-6 6 6
larg-er voic-es call- in’
-6 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6
What heav-en brought you and me
-6 7 7 7 -6-6 6 6
Can-not be for-got- ten
7 7 7 8 -98-8 7 -8
I have been a-round the world

Key: D

-9 -9 8 8 -8 -8 -8
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
7 -9 8 -8 -8 -8
Who knows love can en-dure.
6 6 6 6 -7
And you know it will.

Key: A

6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 7 -6 -6 -6 6
So we cheat-ed and we lied and we test-ed
6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -7 7
And we nev-er failed to fail,
7 -6 6 -5 6 6 6 6 6 6
it was the eas-i-est thing to do
-7 7 7 7 -6 -6 -6 6
You will sur-vive be-ing best-ed
6 6 6 -7 -7 7 7 7
Some-bod-y fine will come a-long
7 7 6 7 7 7 7 -8 -8
make me for-get a-bout lov-ing you
-8 -8 7 -6 6
in the South-ern Cross.
