(Intro.)
|(A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(D) / |(A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(A)

(Verse)
Got outta (A)town on a (G)boat for the southern is-(D)lands (Bm) (D)
Sailing a (A)reach be-(G)fore a following (D)sea (Bm) (A)
She was (A)making for the (G)trades on the (D)outside (Bm) (D)
And the (A)downhill run (G) to Papeete (D)Bay (Bm) (A)
Off this (A)wind on this (G)heading lie the Mar-(D)ques-(Bm)es (D)
We got (A)eighty feet of the (G)waterline (D)nicely (Bm) making (A) way
In a (A)noisy bar in (G)Avalon I tried to (D)call (Bm)you (D)
But on a (A)midnight watch I (G)realized why (D)twice you (Bm)ran away (A)

(Pre-Chorus)
(A) Think about
(G) Think about how (D)many times (G)I have (A) fallen
(A) Spirits are (D)using me, (G)larger voices (A) calling
(G) What heaven brought (D)you and me (G)cannot be for-(A)gotten

(Chorus)
I (D)have been a-(G)round the (A)world
(D)Looking for that (G)woman (A)girl
Who (D)knows love (G)can en-(A)dure
And you know it will (A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(D) / |(A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(A) - - -

(Verse)
When you see (A) the Southern (G)Cross for the (D)first (Bm)time (D)
You (A)understand now (G)why you came this (D)way (Bm) (A)
Cause the (A)truth you might be (G)runnin' from is (D)so (Bm)small (D)
But it's as (A)big as the (G)promise, the (D)promise of a (Bm)coming (A)day
So I'm (A)sailing for to-(G)morrow, my dreams are a (D)dy-(Bm)ing (D)
And my (A)love is an (G)anchor tied to you, (D)tied with a (Bm)silver (A)chain
I have my (A)ship and (G)all her flags are a (D)flying (Bm)(D)
She is (A)all that I have (G)left and (D)music (Bm)is her (A)name

(Pre-Chorus)
(A)Think about
(G) Think about how (D)many times (G)I have (A) fallen
(G) Spirits are (D)using me, (G)larger voices (A) calling
(G) What heaven brought (D)you and me (G)cannot be for-(A)gotten

(Chorus)
(D)I have been around (G) the (A)world
(D)Looking for that (G)woman (A)girl
Who (D)knows love (G)can en-(A)dure
And you know it will (A) (G) (D)(Bm)(D)
And you know (A) it will (G) (D)(Bm)(A)

|(A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(D) / |(A) / (G) / |(D)(Bm)(A) / |

(Verse)
So we (A)cheated and we (G)lied and we (D)tested (A) (D)
And we (A)never failed to (G)fail, it was the (D)easi-(Bm)est thing to (A)do
(A) You will sur-(G)vive being (D)best-(Bm)ed (D)
Somebody (A)fine will (G)come along
Make me for-(D)get about (Bm)loving (A)you
In the southern (A)cross
