[A] Here's a [N] song by Stephen and the [Gm] Curtis brothers Richard and Michael.
Tell them a little song.
[A] Great song you wrote here.
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
Got out of town [G] on a boat on a [D] southern airline
Sailing [A] in reach [G] before a following [Bm] sea
[A]
She was making [G] for the trade [D] on the outside
And [A] the downhill [G] road she'd [Bm] come back and [A] take
Off the wind [G] on this heading line with [D] no case of
You [A] got eighty feet [G] of a [D] waterline nicely [Bm] making [A] way
In a noisy [G] bar in [D] Avalon I planned to call you
[A] On a midnight [G] watch I realized [D] why [Bm] twice you [A] ran away
[G] Think [D] about how many [G] times I [A] have [G] fallen
[D] Spirits are using [G] me, logic was [A] stiff, crawling
[G] While I'm grabbing [D] both you and [G] me, cannot be [A] forgotten
I have [D] been around [G] [A] the world
[D]
Looking [G] for that woman [A] girl
[D]
That was [G] love can [A] endure
And you know what [G] we're here for
[D]
[A] [G] [D] [A] When you see the [G] southern cross [D] for the first time
[A] You understand [G] now why you came [Bm] this [A] way
The truth you might be [G] running [D] from is so small
[A] But it's as big [G] as the promise, [D] the [Bm] promise of the [A] coming day
So I'm sailing [G] for tomorrow, my [D] dreams are a giant
[A] And my luck [G] is an angel tied [D] to you, tied [Bm] with a [A] silver chain
I have my ship [G] and all her [D] flags are a-flying
She might [A] be all that I [G] have left [D] and [Bm] music is [A] her name
Think [G] [D] about how many times [G] I have [A] [G] fallen
[D] Spirits are using me, [G] logic [A] was stiff, [G] crawling
[D] While I'm grabbing both you [G] and me, cannot [A] be forgotten
I [D] have been around [G] [A] the world
[D]
Looking for [G] that woman [A] girl
[D]
That was [G] love can [A] endure
And you know what we're [G] here for
[D] And you [A] know [G] it will
[D] [A] So
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [Bm] [A]
[G] [D]
[A] [G] [D] [A]
we cheated and [G] we lied [D] and we tested
And [A] we never [G] failed, it [D] was the easiest [A] thing to do
You [G] will survive, [D] be interested, [A]
somebody fine
[G] Will come along, [D] make me [Bm] forget about [A] loving you
In the Southern Call
[G] [D]
In the [A] Southern Call
[G] [D] Thank [N] you
