-3 -3 -3 4* -5 -5 -5
Got out of town on a boat
-4 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3 -3
Gon’ to south-ern is-lands
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* -5 -5 -4 -3 3 -3
Sail-ing a reach be-fore a fol-low-ing sea
-3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -3
She was mak-in’ for the trades on the out-side
-3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -4 -3 3 -3
and the down-hill run to Pa-pe-e-te
-3 -3 4* -5 -5 -5 -5
Off the wind on this head-ing
-5 -5 -5 -4 -3
lie the Mar-que-sas
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* -5 -5 -4
We got eight-y feet of wa-ter-line
-3 -3 -5 -5 4*
Nice-ly mak-ing way
-3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5-5 -4
In a nois-y bar in A-va-lon
-4 -4 -4 -4-3 -3
I tried to call you
-3 -3 -3 4* 4* 4*
But on the mid-night watch
4*-5 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6 6
I re-al-ized why twice you ran a-way
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5 4*-4-3-3
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4
Spir-its are us-ing me,
-4 -5 -5 -5 4*-4-3-3
larg-er voic-es call- in’
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4
What heav-en brought you and me
-4 -5 -5 -5 -4-4-3-3
Can-not be for-got- ten
-5 -5 -5 -6* 7-6*6 -5 6
I have been a-round the world
Key: D
7 7 -6* -6* 6 6 6
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
-5 7 -6* 6 6 6
Who knows love can en-dure.
-3 -3 -3 -3 4*
And you know it will.
Key: A
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* -5
When you see the South-ern Cross
-4 -4 -4 -3
for the first time
-3 4* 4* 4* 4* -5 -5 -4-3 3 -3
You un-der-stand now why you came this way
-3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5 -5 -4
‘Cause the truth you might be run-nin’ from
-4 -4 -3
is so small
-3 -3 -3 4* 4* 4* -5 -5
But it’s as big as the prom-ise,
-3 -5 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6
the prom-ise of a com-ing day
-3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5 -5
So I’m sail-ing for to-mor-row,
-5 -5 -5 -5 -4-3-3
my dreams are a dy- in’
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* -5 -5 -4
And my love is an an-chor tied to you,
-3 -3 -5 -5 -5 4*
tied with a sil-ver chain
-3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -4 -4-3-3
I have my ship and all her flags are a fly-in’
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* -5
She is all that I have left
-5 -5 -5 6 6 6
and mu-sic is her name
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -5 4*-4-3-3
Think a-bout how man-y times I have fall- en
-4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4
Spir-its are us-ing me,
-4 -5 -5 -5 4*-4-3-3
larg-er voic-es call- in’
-4 -4 -4 -5 -5 -5 -4
What heav-en brought you and me
-4 -5 -5 -5 -4-4-3-3
Can-not be for-got- ten
-5 -5 -5 -6* 7-6*6 -5 6
I have been a-round the world
Key: D
7 7 -6* -6* 6 6 6
Look-ing for that wom-an girl
-5 7 -6* 6 6 6
Who knows love can en-dure.
-3 -3 -3 -3 4*
And you know it will.
Key: A
-3 -3 4* 4* 4* 4* -5 -4 -4 -4 -3
So we cheat-ed and we lied and we test-ed
-3 4* 4* 4* 4* 4* -5
And we nev-er failed to fail,
-5 -4-3 3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3 -3
it was the eas-i-est thing to do
4* -5 -5 -5 -4 -4 -4 -3
You will sur-vive be-ing best-ed
-3 -3 -3 4* 4* -5 -5 -5
Some-bod-y fine will come a-long
-5 -5 -3 -5 -5 -5 -5 6 6
make me for-get a-bout lov-ing you
6 6 -5 -4 -3
in the South-ern Cross.
