(I arranged it the best I could.  If you don't know the song, it's not going
to make any sense)

D                                    G
Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake

               D
                                                             A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters

          D                                         G

Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done

                 D               A                G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters

            Bm                                 D
Just for starters, barometer is my soup

      Bm                           D
I'm descended from a deckhand on a sloop

A                   D                  A                    D
I travel on the songlines that only dreamers see

G                             A
Not known for predictibility

                 D                        G
Come and follow in our wake, you've not that much at stake

D

                                                                            A

For we have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters

          D                                     G
Come along let's hae some fun, it seems our work is done

                 D                A               G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun, just for star---ters

             Bm                                         D
Sail the main course, in a simple sturdy craft

            Bm                                             D
Keep it well stocked with short stories and long laughs

         A                D                  A                    D
Go fast enough to get there, but slow enough to see

G                                       A
Moderation seems to be the key

A                                                       Bm
Constantly searchin, oh my eyes have seen some horizons

A                                                         Bm
And I've crossed the ocean for more than just thrills

A                                            G
No I'm not the first, won't be the last

D                                   A
You lust for the future but treasure the past

D                           G
Follow in my wake, you've not that much at stake

D
                                                                            A
For I have plowed the seas and smoothed the troubled waters

D                                                   G
Come along let's have some fun, the hard work has been done

                 D               A               G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters

                  D              A               G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters

                 D               A               G      D
We'll barrel roll into the sun just for star---ters


This is the best I could come up with.  Any corrections are welcome!
