Got out of town on [G] a boat going to Southern [D] Ireland, [A] sailing the reach [G] for a following [A] sea.
She was making for [G] the trades [D] on the outside, [A] and the downhill [G] run to Pampa [D] [A] Apech.
Off the wind [G] on this peddling lather, [D] Marquesa, [A] you got eighty [G] feet of a water line, [D] nice [A] to make your way.
In a noisy [G] bar in Avalon, I [D] tried to call you, [A] but on the midnight [G] watch I realized [D] why [Bm] twice you [A] ran away.
Think [G] about [D] how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, logic [A] voices call [G] for it.
One heaven brought [D] you and [G] me, cannot [A] be forgotten.
[D] I have been around [G] [A] the world, [D] looking [G] for that foreign [A] girl, [D] who knows [G] love [A] can endure.

[A] Cause the truth you [G] might be running [D] from is so small, [A] but it's as big [G] as the promise, [D] the [Bm] promise of a [A] coming day.
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams are a dying, [A] and my love [G] is an anchor tied [D] to you, [Bm] tied with a [A] silver chain.
I have my ship, [G] and all the [D] flags are a -flaggin'.
[A] She is all that [G] I have left, [D] and [Bm] music [A] is her name.
[G] Think about, think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen, [D] spirits are using [G] me, logic [A] voices call [G] for it.
One [D] heaven brought you and [G] me, cannot [A] be forgotten.
I have [D] been around [G]
[A] the world, [D] looking [G] for that foreign [A] girl, [D] who knows [G] love [A] can endure.
