VERSE 1
-------
      Em7                          F#m7
I've sailed the whole world over, across the seven seas
   Bm7                        A
I courted my sweetheart underneath the Kaori trees
I travelled with the north wind, up to the Bering Strait
Around the horn and home again; for that is the sailor's fate

INSTRUMENTAL
------------
Bm7 A (x4)

VERSE 2 (same as verse 1)
-------------------------
Across the barren wasteland of the frozen Arctic sea
Through Polynesian breezes and southern storms sailed we
The wind all in the rigging sings a lonely lullaby
   Bm7                      A                 Bm (2 beats)
A sailor I have always been; a sailor I will die

CHORUS
------
  D/F#      G         D
Across the line, the Gulf Stream
G                   D
Working your life away
  D/F#      G        Bm
Around the horn and home again
A                           Bm
   For that is the sailor's way

-------------------
G                    A                              Bm
We sailed up to the northward, we sailed up to the east
                            F#m7                                   G
We reefed our sail in the strongest gale and stood in the calmest sea
Ocean bound by Dusky Sound and Pegasus through the strait
Port Cooper, ocean, Tom Kane Bay; for that is the sailor's fate

CHORUS
------
Across the line, the Gulf Stream
Working your life away
Around the horn and home again

Across the line, the Gulf Stream
Working your life away
Around the horn and home again
For that is the sailor's way
