[A] [E] [A] Well it's not far down to paradise, the feast is not upon me.
[F#m] If the wind is right you can sail away and find a drink with a [E] tea.
Oh, look in the sky and [A] do a miracle, [E] just you wait [A] and see, believe me.
[E] [A] It's not far to never never land, no reason to pretend.
If [F#m] the wind is right you can find the joy of being a saint again.
Oh, [E] look in the sky and [A] do a miracle, [E] just you wait [A] and see, [E] believe [A] me.

[A] Sailing takes me [E] away [A] to where I've always heard it would be.

[E] [F#m] [E] all caught up [A] in the reverie.
[E] Every word [A] is a symphony, won't [E] you believe [A] me?
[E] [A] [E] [A] Sailing takes [E] me away [A] to where I've always heard it would be.
