If I had been born two hundred years ago

I would have been a sailor, and sailing I would go

I'd sail around the Capes and across the seven seas and then back home
                                          D
If I had been born two hundred years ago 


D                                                      G
And I would know the waters, and the waters would know me
         D                                E           A
I would cut across the waves, and be as happy as can be
         D                                                 G
I'd be landless, I'd be loveless, I'd be flight and fancy-free
D                                   A              D
I would know the waters, and the waters would know me


D                                                      G
And when I think about the place and time where I was born
D                                    E                     A
I wonder if the hands of faith had slipped and placed me wrong
                  D                                 
'cause there are ships I could have sailed and sailors boots I could have 
 G
worn
D                                 A                D
When I think about the place and time where I was born


D*                                                  G*
But the ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide
D*                                     E*               A
She's got open arms to hold me, and endless space to hide
          D                                                G
And the only things that hold me back are things I hold inside
      D                             A          D
The ocean is still out there, magnificent and wide


 G       A
Oh, Oh, Oh 
 D       G
Oh, Oh, Oh
 G       A
Oh, Oh, Oh
                  D
Sailing I should go
