(Intro) Cm  Ab7M   Cm   Ab7M
(Verse 1)
Cm
Waiting at the water's edge, watching all the ships
   Bb/D     Eb              Ab      Bb
As they are heading for the harbour wall;
      Cm         Ab7M     Cm          Ab7M
I was just a boy,     I was just a boy,
                Cm         Ab7M                 Cm         Ab7M
Dreaming of the wide world,       dreaming of the wide world,
(Verse 2)
Cm
Watching as they disappear, reading out the names of
Bb/D    Eb            Ab    Bb
All the places I have never been;
        Cm         Ab7M        Cm          Ab7M
Looking out to sea,      looking out to sea,
              Cm         Ab7M              Cm         Ab7M
Dreaming of a wide world,      dreaming of a wide world,
(Chorus)
  Fm        Cm      Fm       Bb
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
Eb      Ab    Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab  Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
     Cm           Ab7M    Cm
With you tonight,      with you tonight
(Verse 3)
Cm
Walking down another street, underneath the red lights
Bb/D Eb                 Ab      Bb
I am watching where the shadows fall,
        Cm         Ab7M          Cm          Ab7M
Looking at the girls,    listening to the girls,
              Cm         Ab7M               Cm         Ab7M
Dreaming of a new world,     dreaming of that new world,
(Chorus)
Fm        Cm      Fm       Bb
Ooh,     Oooh,    Ooh,    Oooh, I wish I was
Eb      Ab    Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab  Bb
Sailing away, sailing away, sailing away
        Cm           Ab7M        Cm           Ab7M
In your arms tonight,      in your arms tonight
(Outro)
             Eb       Ab   Eb       Ab
I wish I was sailing away, sailing away
Eb       Ab  Bb    Cm      Ab7M     Cm
Sailing away, with you now,      with you now.
Cm   Ab7M  Cm Ab7M (repeat to fade)
