Sailing Round The Room
Written by Emmylou Harris, Kate McGarrigle & Anna McGarrigle
Recorded by Emmylou Harris

(A) (F#) One last (E/G#)gaze upon the (A)sun (B7) bid farewell to everyone (E7)
(F#) Kicked that (E/G#)bucket out the door (A) (C#) where I'm goin I won't (D)need it anymore

(B7) Gonna lay my (F#)burden (E7)down, (B7) take a (F#)birdseye look a-(E7)round
(B7) From the tall pines of Caro-(F#)lina, (E7) all the way to the Wall of China

(Chorus)
(A) So I go sailing round the room
Through my window cross the (F#)silver (E7)moon
(F#) No flesh and bone to (D/A)hold me, (F#) I'll finally set my (D)soul free
(E7) When I go sailing round the (A)room

(F#) Life may -(E/G#)be just but a (A)dream, (B7) rode my boat on down the (E7)stream
(F#) To wake up (E/G#)on a different (A)shore, (C#) wind up as something I aint (D)never been before

(B7) I could be a drop of summer rain (E7) (B7) falling down on an (A)Oklahoma (E7)plain
(B7) Won't leave the world behind me, (E7) look around and you will (E/G#)find me

(Chorus)
(A) So I go sailing round the room
Through my window cross the (F#)silver (E7)moon
(F#) No flesh and bone to (D)hold me, (F#) I'll finally set my soul free
(E/G#) When I go sailing round the (A)room

Inst.:  | (B7) | (A) | (E7) | (E7) |

(B7)I will (A)be (E7) in the smoke from Mauna Loa, morning mist on the Shenandoah
(B7)I will (A)be (E7) grain of sand in the Kalahari, magnolia by the Mississippi
(B7)I will (A)be (E7) bird song when the day is breaking, words of love when your heart is aching
(B7)I will (A)be (E7) blue bonnet by the highway, I'll be everywhere and always

(Chorus)
(A) When I go sailing round the room
Through my window, cross the (F#)silver (E7)moon
(F#) No flesh and bone to hold (D)me, (F#) I'll finally set my soul free
(E7) When I go sailing round the (A)room

(A) Through my window, cross the (F#)silver (E7)moon
(A) No flesh and bone to (D)hold me, (F#) I'll finally set my soul free
(E7) When I go sailing round the (A)room
