[Bb] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] They bought [Bb] a round [Eb] for the [Ab] sailor
[Eb]
[Ab] And they heard his [Bb] tale
Of [Eb] a world that was so far [Ab] away
And a [Bb] song that [Eb] we'd [Ab] never heard
A [Bb] song of [Eb] a little [Ab]
bird
Who fell [Bb] in love with [Eb] a whale
[Bb]
He said, [Eb] you cannot [Bb] live in the [Eb] ocean
And she [Ab] said to [Bb] him
You never can live [Eb] in the [Ab] sky
But [Eb] [Bb] the ocean [Eb] is filled [Ab] with [Eb] tears
[Ab] [Eb] And the [Bb] sea turns [Eb] into [Ab] a mirror
[Eb] There's a [D] whale [Bb] in the moon [Gm] when [Ab] it's clear
[Eb] And a [Bb] bird on [Eb] the tide
Oh please [Bbm] [Ab] don't cry
[F] Let me dry your [Bb] eyes
[Eb] So tell [Gm] me [Bb] that you will [Eb] wait for me
Hold [Ab] me in [Bb] your arms
[Eb] I promise we never [Ab] will part
[Bb]
I'll never [Eb] sail back to [Ab] the tide
But [Bb] I'll always [Eb]
reach in [Ab] your [Eb] mind
[Ab]
[Bb] Though I know that [Eb] we both must [Ab] part
You [Bb] can live in [Eb] my heart
Oh please [Bbm]
don't [Ab] cry
Let [F] me dry [Bb] your eyes
[Eb] So tell [Bb] me that you [Eb] will wait for me
Hold [Ab] me in [Bb] your arms
[Eb] I promise we never [Ab] will part
[Bb] I'll never [Eb] sail back to [Ab] the tide
[Bb] But I'll always [Eb] reach in [Ab] your mind
[Eb] Though [Bb] I know that we [Eb] both [Ab] must part
You [Bb] can live in my [Eb] heart
