G F C Sailing a reach before a following sea. G F C She was making for the trades on the outside, G F C And the downhill run to Papeete. G F C Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas. G C Am G We got eighty feet of waterline nicely making way. G F C In a noisy bar in Avalon, I tried to call you, G F C Am G But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away. F C F G Think about how many times I have fallen. F C F G Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'. F C F G What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten. C F G C F G I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl C F G Who knows love can endure. G G F F C C And you know it will. G G F F C G And you know it will G F C When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, G F C You understand now why you came this way. G F C 'Cause the truth you might be runnin' from is so small, G F C Am G But it's as big as the promise, the promise of a comin' day. G F C So I'm sailing for tomorrow. My dreams are a-dying. G F C Am G And my love is an anchor tied to you, tied with a silver chain. G F C I have my ship, and all her flags are a-flying. G F C Am G She is all that I have left, and music is her name. F C F G Think about how many times I have fallen. F C F G Spirits are using me; larger voices callin'. F C F G What heaven brought you and me cannot be forgotten. C F G C F G I have been around the world, lookin' for that woman-girl C F G Who knows love can endure. G G F F C C And you know it will. G G F F C G And you know it will G F C So we cheated and we lied and we tested. G F C G And we never failed to fail; it was the easiest thing to do. G F C You will survive being bested. G F C Am G Somebody fine will come along make me forget about loving you G G F F C C / G G F F C G In the Southern Cross. * Alternate: open G = A F = G C = D Am = Bm Set8 http://sites.google.com/site/guitarmusicchordsandlyrics/
