G5                       G5   C5
If I had been born 200 years ago
    G5                           A5           D5
I would have been a sailor, a-Sailing I would go
          G5                G/f#              G5      G5        C5
I'd sail around the capes across the seven seas and then back home
G5                   D5         G5
If I had been born 200 years ago


G5                                    G5               C5
and I would know the waters and the waters would know me
         G5                               A5            D5
I would cut across the waves and be as happy as can be
        G5             G/f#            G5         G5   C5
Id be landless Id be loveless Id be flight and fancy free
G5                                    D5              G5
and would know the waters and the waters would know me


G5                                          G5         C5
And when I think about the place and time were I was born
G5                                          A5                   D5
well I wonder if the hands of fate have slipped and placed me wrong 
                G5                 G/f#                G5       G5     C5
cos there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could've worn
G5                                 D5               G5
when I think about the place and time were I was born


G5                                    G5          C5
But the ocean is still out there magnificent and wide
G5                                A5                D5
With open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide,
          G5               G/f#              G5       G5   C5
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside
     G5                           D5            G5
The ocean is still out there magnificent and wide


 C5   C5  D5
Oh, oh, oh
 G5   G5   C5      
Oh, oh, oh
 C5    C5   D5
Oh, oh, oh
D5                  G5
A-Sailing I should go
