[F#] [G#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#]
[C#] [F#] I'm [B] leaving my family, [F#]
I'm leaving [D#m] all my friends, [F#] my [G#] body's at home, [G#m] but my heart's
in [C#] the [D#m] wind, [C#] where [F#] the clouds are [B] like headlines [F#] on a new front page [D#m] sky, [F#] my tears [G#] are salt
water [G#m] and the moon's [C#] falling [F#] [B] high, [F#]
I know [B] Martin Eden, [F#] and I'll be proud [D#m] of me, and
that [F#] [G#] many before me, [G#m] have been called by [C#] the [F#] sea [F#] to be up in the [B] crow's [F#] nest, singing [D#m] my
name, and I'll say,
[F#] shiver [G#] me timbers, [G#m] cause I'm a sailing [C#]
[F#] away, and [D#m] the fog's lifting,
[A#] the sand's shifting, [F#] I'm drifting [G#] on now, oh captain, he [F#] ain't got nothing [C#] on me [Bm] now,
[D#m] swallow [D] me, don't follow me, [F#] I'm traveling [G#] alone, blue water's my daughter, [F#] and I'm gonna
skip like [B] a [C#] stone,
[F#] [G#m] [F#] [D#m]
[F#] [G#]
[G#m] [C#] [F#] [C#]
[F#] so please [B] call my missus, [F#] and I'll tell her [D#m] not to cry, [F#] cause [G#] my goodbye
is written [G#m] by the moon in [C#] the [C#] sky, [F#] and nobody [B] knows me, [F#] I can't fathom [D#m] my staying,
[F#] shiver
[G#] me timbers, [G#m] cause I'm a sailing [C#]
[F#] away, [D#m] and the fog's lifting, [A#] the sand's shifting, [D#m] I'm
drifting [G#] on now, oh captain, he [F#] ain't got nothing [C#] on me [Bm] now, [D#m] swallow me, don't follow
[A#]
[F#] me, I'm traveling alone, [G#] blue water's my daughter, and I'm [F#] gonna skip [C#] like a stone, cause [F#] I'm
leaving my [G#m] family, [C#] [F#] leaving all [D#m] my friends, [F#] my [G#] body's at home, but [G#m] my heart's in [D#m] the [C#] wind,
[F#] clouds are like [B] headlines, [F#] upon a new front [D#m] page sky, [F#] shiver [G#] me timbers, cause I'm a sailing
[C#] away
