G G  F F  C C
G G  F F  C G

           G         F                     CGot out of town on a boat gon' to southern islands.
          G     F                  CSailing a reach before a following sea.
        G              F             CShe was making for the trades on the outside,
        G        F           CAnd the downhill run to Papeete.

        G            F               COff the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
       G              C                Am     GWe got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way.
     G            F                  CIn a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you,
         G                F            C         Am   GBut on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away.

F               C          F      GThink about how many times I have fallen.
F           C         F             GSpirits are using me; larger voices callin'.
F                   C          F            GWhat heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
            C   F      G      C                F     GI have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
    C          F     GWho knows love can endure.
                 G G  F F  C CAnd you know it will.
                 G G  F F  C GAnd you know it will

         G                F             CWhen you see the Southern Cross for the first time,
    G              F                 CYou understand now why you came this way.
           G                  F               C'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small,
            G          F            C            Am     GBut it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day.

       G           F                         CSo I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying.
       G          F                   C           Am     GAnd my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
G         F                             CI have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying.
       G               F         C     Am     GShe is all that I have left, and music is her name.

F               C          F      GThink about how many times I have fallen.
F           C         F             GSpirits are using me; larger voices callin'.
F                   C          F             GWhat heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
            C   F      G      C                F     GI have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
    C          F      GWho knows love can endure.
                 G G  F F  C CAnd you know it will.
                 G G  F F  C GAnd you know it will

      G              F           CSo we cheated and we lied and we tested.
       G               F                C                GAnd we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.
G        F             CYou will survive being bested.
G                  F                  C            Am     GSomebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you

                     G G  F F  C C / G G  F F  C GIn the Southern Cross.
