_ _ _ [D] Oh, [E] _ [A] _ _
[D] _ [A] _ [F#m] I'm sailing away, [D] my [A] home to love [D] _ _ [A] _ _ [F#m]
I am sailing [E] away [B] in [A] the morning
[D]
Is [A] _ _ _ [F#m] there something I can send you [D] from across [A] the sea?
_ [D] _ [A] _ _
_ [F#m] From the place [E] where [A] I'll be landing
[D] Oh, [E] _ [A] _ _ _ _
[F#m] there's nothing you can send me, [D] my home to [A]
love
[D] There [A] _ _ _ [B] is nothing [E] I am wishing [A] to be on
[D] Just [A] _
_ _ [E] _ [F#m] carry yourself [D] back to me, [A] oh yes, boy
[D] From [A] _ _ _
[E] _ [F#m] across [Em] that [A] lonesome ocean
[D] _

[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] Need a silver [B] [A] oar of gold [D] and
_ [A] _ _
_ [E] _ [F#m] _ _ _ [D] Bottoms of [A] _ _ [D] Medellin
[A] _ _ Or [F#m] from the coast [E] of [A] Barcelona
_ [D] Well, [E] _ _ [A] _ [Dm] _ [A] _ [E] [F#m] if I had stars [D] of the darkest [A] night
[D]
[A] And _ _ _ [F#m] the diamonds from [E] the [B] [A] deepest ocean
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[E] _ [F#m] I'd beseech them [A] all [D] for your [Bm] [A] sweet kiss
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] That's all [E] I [A] wish to be owning
[D] _ [E] Well, _ [A] _ _ _ [F#m] I might be gone [D] a long, [A] old time
[D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [F#m] And it's only [E] [B] that [A] I'm asking
[D] Is [A] _ _ _ [F#m] there something I can send you [D] to remember [A] me by?
[D] _
_ [A] _ _ [F#m] To make your time [E] more [A] easy pass
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [F#m] Well, how can, how can [D] you ask [A] me again?
[D] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F#m] Well, it [E] only [A] brings me [D] sorrow
[A] For _ _ [E] [F#m] the [B] same [F#m] thing [D] I would want [A] to be
[D] _ [A] I _ _ would [F#m] want [E] it [A] again tomorrow

_ _ [E] [F#m] Oh, I got a letter [D] on a [A] lonesome day
[D] _ _ [A] And _ [F#m] it was from [E] his ship [A] sailing
[D] _
[A] Say _ _ [E] _ [F#m] nothing, _ [D] I'll be coming [A] back again
[D] _ _ [A] _
_ _ [F#m] It depends [E] on [B] how [A] I'm feeling
[D] _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
[F#m] Well, if you, my love, [D] must think [A] that way
[D] Then [A] _ _ _ [F#m] I know [E] your mind [A] is a roman
And _ _ _ [F#m] I know you're _ [D] gonna [A] get me
[D] But [A] _ _
[F#m] with the country [E] [A] where you're [D] going _
_ [E] _ [A] _ _ _ So [F#m] take heed, take heed [D] of the western [A] wind
[D] _
_ [A] _ _ [E] [F#m] And take heed of [E] _
[A] stormy [D] weather
_ [A] _ _ _
[F#m] And yes, there is something you [D] can [A] send back to me
