D G A A
D G A A
[Verse 1]
D A G
Got out of town on a boat
goin' to Southern islands
G A D
Sailing a reach before
A
a followin' sea
A
She was makin' for the
G A
trades on the outside
A G A
And the downhill run to Papeete
[Verse 2]
A F
Off the wind on this heading
A
lie the Marquesas
G A
We got eighty feet of
F G A
the waterline nicely making way
A G
In a noisy bar in Avalon
A
I tried to call you
A
But on a midnight watch I
G A
realized why twice you ran away

[Chorus]
A
Think about
A D
Think about how many
A
times I have fallen
A G
Spirits are using me
A
larger voices callin'
A
What Heaven brought you and
G D
me cannot be forgotten
(Around the world)
D G A
I have been around the world
G
(Lookin') Lookin' for
A
that woman girl
(Who knows she knows)
A G A
Who knows love can endure
A D G A
And you know it will
[Verse 3]
G A D
When you see the Southern Cross
A
for the first time
A G
You understand now why
A
you came this way
A G
'Cause the truth you might
A
be runnin' from is so small
A G
But it's as big as the promise,
A
the promise of a comin' day
[Verse 4]
D A G
So I'm sailing for tomorrow
D
my dreams are a dyin'
D A G
And my love is an anchor tied
A
to you tied with a silver chain
A
I have my ship and all
G A
her flags are a' flyin'
A G
She is all that I have left
A
and music is her name

A
So we cheated and
G A
we lied and we tested
A G
And we never failed to fail,

it was the easiest thing to do
A G A
You will survive being bested
A G
Somebody fine will come along,
A
make me forget about loving you
A G D D A
In the Southern Cross
