[Intro]
D G A A D G A A [Verse]
D A G Got out of town on a boat
goin' to Southern islands
G A D A Sailing a reach before a followin' sea A G A She was makin' for the trades on the outside A G A And the downhill run to Papeete [Verse]
A F A Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas G A We got eighty feet of the
F G A
waterline nicely making way A G A In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you A G But on a midnight watch I realized
A
why twice you ran away [Chorus]
A Think about A D A Think about how many times I have fallen A G A Spirits are using me larger voices callin' A What Heaven brought you and
G D
me cannot be forgotten
D G A (Around the world) I have been around the world G A (Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl (Who knows she knows)
A G A
Who knows love can endure
A D G A And you know it will [Verse]
G A D When you see the Southern Cross
A
for the first time
A G A You understand now why you came this way A G 'Cause the truth you might be
A
runnin' from is so small
A G But it's as big as the promise,
A
the promise of a comin' day [Verse]
D A G So I'm sailing for tomorrow
D
my dreams are a dyin' D A G And my love is an anchor tied to
A
you tied with a silver chain A I have my ship and
G A
all her flags are a' flyin'
A G She is all that I have left
A
and music is her name [Chorus]
A Think about A D Think about how many times
A
I have fallen
A G A Spirits are using me larger voices callin' A What Heaven brought
G D
you and me cannot be forgotten D G A (Around the world) I have been around the world G A (Lookin') Lookin' for that woman girl (Who knows she knows)
A G A
Who knows love can endure
A D G A And you know it will [Instrumental]
D A G D A G A G A A G G A [Verse]
A G A So we cheated and we lied and we tested A G And we never failed to fail,
D A
it was the easiest thing to do A G A You will survive being bested A G Somebody fine will come along,
A
make me forget about loving you A G D D A In the Southern Cross
