           A         G                     D
Got out of town on a boat gon' to southern islands.
          A     G                  D
Sailing a reach before a following sea.
        A              G             D
She was making for the trades on the outside,
        A        G           D
And the downhill run to Papeete.


        A            G               D
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas.
       A              G         D      Bm     A
We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way.
     A            G                  D
In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you,
         A                G            D         Bm   A     A
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away. (think about)


G               D          G      A
Think about how many times I have fallen.
G           D         G             A
Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'.
G                   D          G            A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
            D   G      A      D                G     A
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
    D          G      A
Who knows love can endure.
                A A  G G  D D D D
And you know it will.
                A A  G G  D D D A
And you know it will


         A                G             D
When you see the Southern Cross for the first time,
    A              G                 D
You understand now why you came this way.
           A                  G               D
'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small,
            A          G            D            Bm     A
But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day.


       A           G                         D
So I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying.
       A          G                   D           Bm     A
And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain.
                    G                   D
I have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying.
       A               G         D     Bm     A      A
She is all that I have left, and music is her name. (think about)


G               D          G      A
Think about how many times I have fallen.
G           D         G             A
Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'.
G                   D          G             A
What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten.
            D   G      A      D                G     A
I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl
    D          G      A
Who knows love can endure.
                A A  G G  D D D D
And you know it will.
                A A  G G  D D D A
And you know it will


      A              G           D
So we cheated and we lied and we tested.
       A               G                D       Bm       A
And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do.
A           G          D
You will survive being bested.
A                  G                  D            Bm     A
Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you


                 A A  G G  D D D D / A A  G G  D D D A
In the Southern Cross.
