Intro:
Amaj9 - Bm7/A - Amaj9 - Bm7/A

Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                     
To      sail on a dream on a crystal clear ocean,
                                      Bm7/A (x00202@1)     
to ride on the crest of a wild raging       storm
   Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                     
To       work in the service of life and a living,
                                         Bm7/A (x00202@1)  
in search of the answers to questions un-      known
      Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                   
To be      part of the movement a part of the growing,
                            A11 (x00000@1)              
part of beginning to under-     stand,

chorus:
D (xx0232@1)                A (x02220@1)                         
   Aye Calypso the   places you've been to, 
     D (xx0232@1)                 A (x02220@1)                    
the   things that you've   shown us, 
     E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)                          
the   stories you  tell
D (xx0232@1)              A (x02220@1)                           
  Aye Calypso, I  sing to your spirit,
   D (xx0232@1)            A (x02220@1)                          
the  men who have  served you 
   E (022100@1)          A (x02220@1)                            
so  long and so  well

E (022100@1)         D (xx0232@1)     A (x02220@1)

Amaj9 - Bm7/A - Amaj9 - Bm7/A

Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                
Like the       dolphin who guides you, you bring us beside you
                             Bm7/A (x00202@1)             
To light up the darkness and       show us the way
    Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                    
For       though we are strangers in your silent world
                                          Bm7/A (x00202@1)
To live on the land we must learn from the       sea
      Amaj9 (x0210x@1)                                  
To be       true as the tide and free as a wind swell
                                A11 (x00000@1)          
Joyful and loving in letting it      be

chorus:
