(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.
