[Abm] Sunset, an evening star, and one clear call for me,
And may there be no moaning of the bar, when I put out to sea.
[G] When I put out to sea, when [A] I put [G] out to sea,
And may there be [Gm] no
[D] moaning of the bar,
[G] when I [A] put [D] out to sea.
But such [G] a tide as moving [A] seems [D] asleep, [G] to fall [A] for sound [D] and foam,
[G] That which drew from out [A] the boundless deep, [G] turns
[A] [D] again home.
Turns [G] again home, [A] turns again [G] home,
That which [Gm] drew from out [A] the boundless deep, [G]
[A] turns again [D] home.
Twilight, an evening bell, [G] and after [D] that the dark,
And may there be no sadness of farewell, [G] when
[D] I,
[F] [G]
When I embark, when
[A] [B] I embark, [G]
and may there be no [Gbm] sadness of [Dm] farewell,
[G] When [A] I embark, [Bm] for though [G] from out a [Gbm] borne of time [D] and place,
[G] The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my pilot [D] face to face,
[G]
When I [Eb] have crossed the bar.
[Bb]
[G] When I have crossed the bar, when I [A] have crossed
[B] the bar,
[G] I hope to see my pilot [D] face to face, [G] when I [A] have [D] crossed the bar.
When I [Ab] have crossed the [Bm] bar, when I [A] have crossed [B] the bar,
[G]
I hope to see my pilot face to face, when [A] I have crossed [D] the bar.
